The next supermoon visible in 2025 is on November 5, with peak illumination around 8:19 AM local time (depending on your time zone). It’s the Beaver Moon and will be the largest and brightest of the three 2025 supermoons, visible in the evenings of November 4–5 as well. What to know and how to view it
- Timing: The peak moment is when the Moon is closest to Earth in its orbit (perigee). In many regions, you’ll notice it brightest and largest after sunset on November 4 and continuing through the evening of November 5, with the moment of full illumination around 8:19 AM ET on Nov 5 in widely cited sources. Check your local sunset and moonrise times for the best viewing window. [sources refer to November 5, 2025 at 13:19 UTC and local visibility].
- Duration: The full Moon phase spans a couple of days around the peak, so you’ll likely see a noticeably larger Moon on the evenings of November 4 and 5, even without optical aid..
- How it differs: A supermoon appears up to about 14% larger and up to ~30% brighter when near perigee compared to apogee-full Moons. This is the official portrayal repeated by NASA and several astronomy outlets mentioning the Beaver Moon as the second of three 2025 supermoons..
- Best viewing tips:
- Find a clear, unobstructed view with a flat horizon (east or west-facing vantage points can help with moonrise/settling time).
- Use binoculars or a small telescope for surface detail, though the Moon is bright enough to enjoy with the naked eye.
- Check local weather and moonrise times for your exact location and plan your viewing window accordingly..
Context and extra notes
- This Beaver Moon is part of a 2025 sequence that includes three consecutive supermoons (October 7, November 5, December 4). It’s commonly referred to as the Beaver Moon, reflecting traditional beaver activity and fur-trade naming conventions..
- If you’re after precise local timings or an observing checklist, many astronomy sites publish daily moon guides and sky events that tailor the data to your city..
Direct answer: You can see the beaver supermoon on November 4–5, 2025, with the peak moment around November 5 at 8:19 AM local time (UTC 13:19). Plan for clear skies and a viewing spot with an open horizon to enjoy its brightness and size..
