To help you enjoy this celestial moment at its best, here is everything you need to know about the full moon in November 2025, citing various sources.
What Is a Supermoon?
Not every full moon earns the title Supermoon. For a full moon to qualify as one, it must occur when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit (perigee). When this happens, the Moon can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual, making it an easy-to-spot celestial event.
Coming within 356,980 kilometers of Earth, this November's Beaver Moon shines as the brightest and nearest full moon of 2025, appearing approximately 8% larger and 16% brighter than an average full moon. For Australians, this confirms it as the biggest full moon of the year.
What Is Special About November’s Full Moon?
What is special about the Beaver Moon is the origin of its name. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the name reflects the time of year when beavers begin to build their lodges and store food for the long winter ahead.
