Overview
- The Moon reaches full phase at 14:19 and perigee late evening around 23:16–23:27 CET at roughly 356,400–356,833 kilometers from Earth.
- Germany’s weather service expects better visibility in the south and in parts of central and eastern regions, with more cloud in the north and northwest and possible fog in low-lying southern areas such as the Rhine and Danube valleys.
- Apparent size and brightness increase to as much as about 14% larger and roughly 30% brighter than the smallest full moon, though the difference is subtle to the naked eye.
- The most striking views come near moonrise in the late afternoon (roughly 16:00–16:30 locally), when the horizon setting enhances the well-known moon illusion.
- 'Supermoon' is a popular, non-astronomical label and November’s traditional names like 'Nebelmond' or 'Bibermond' refer to the month’s full moon, as experts also note only minor tidal effects and no proven link to natural disasters.
