Get ready for an unforgettable sky-gazing experience because on 5 November 2025, the full moon will shine at its grandest.
This month’s lunar spectacle, often dubbed the ‘Beaver Moon’, will align with its closest approach to Earth (perigee), causing it to appear brighter and slightly larger than usual, as per National Geographic.
Just after sunset, the moon will climb from the eastern horizon in a rich golden hue before gradually shifting to a silvery glow as darkness falls. The timing of its rise and the clarity of the horizon will make this moment particularly special for anyone watching.
Astronomers point out that although the moon is a constant presence in our night sky, events like this highlight how the universe is finely tuned: a regular full moon becomes extraordinary simply by being at the right distance at the right moment.
For many, the world will feel a little quieter this evening – cities, oceans and mountains bathed in lunar light – and a sense of calm wonder may wash over all. Because while we live with the moon every night, rarely does it invite such an obvious ‘pause and look up’ moment.
If you’re planning to catch it, aim for open skies and an unobstructed eastern view soon after sunset. Grab someone to share it with, and maybe a camera too.
