When to See Biggest Full Moon of 2025 as Beaver Moon Approaches
The November 5 supermoon will be 7% larger and up to 30% brighter than average, coinciding with meteor showers and peaking at 221,726 miles from Earth, experts said.
- On Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, the full moon will reach peak illumination and be the closest, brightest, and largest-appearing full moon of 2025, reaching perigee at about 5:30 p.m. EST.
- Scientists say the Moon's elliptical orbit causes supermoons, which happen when a full moon aligns with Perigee, the Moon's closest orbital point; this Nov. 5 event is 2025's closest such occurrence.
- At perigee the Moon will be about 221,726 miles away, appearing only about 7% larger than an average full moon, a difference many observers may not notice.
- The timing means coastal regions will see amplified tides as perigean spring tides cause a large tidal range, with 6.88-foot tides at Cape Fear and 6.34-foot tides at The Battery in New York City.
- The supermoon also lines up with meteor activity, as the Southern Taurids peak Nov. 4 and 5 and the Leonid meteor shower is active Nov. 3 to Dec. 2, with moonrise around 5:27 p.m. in Indianapolis, Indiana, offering viewing in Wisconsin and Indiana.

In fact, I still recall reciting it in fifth grade: “The moon is 240,000 miles from Earth.” What the teacher never told us, however, is that this number is just a rough average, and that there is no single answer. That’s because the moon doesn’t orbit the Earth in a circular path; if it did, its distance would always be the same. It orbits, instea…
