While we had to wait\u00a010 whole months before finally getting to witness the first supermoon of 2025<\/a>, we\u2019ll get to enjoy two more before the year ends.\u00a0And the next one\u00a0is set to be the most\u00a0dramatic of the three.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only will the next supermoon, known as a \u2018beaver supermoon\u2019, appear even bigger and brighter than the last, but it will coincide with Bonfire Night festivities. That means that fireworks across the city will burst and\u00a0spiral against the most spectacular-looking lunar display of the year. Talk about two in one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, from what causes its luminosity to the best time of night to see it, here\u2019s everything you need to know about November\u2019s supermoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is a supermoon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The moon orbits around the Earth\u00a0in a sort of egg shape rather than a perfect circle, meaning that it sits at different distances from the Earth throughout the month. A supermoon\u00a0is when the moon\u00a0is within 90 percent of its\u00a0closest point to the Earth (AKA its perigee)\u00a0at the same as\u00a0the\u00a0the sun, Earth and moon\u00a0are sat in a straight line, ie. when there\u2019s a full moon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A supermoon\u00a0can appear up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent more luminous than an average moon. An\u00a0effect known as the \u2018moon illusion\u2019 can make it appear\u00a0particularly\u00a0large\u00a0when it\u2019s close to the horizon. November\u2019s supermoon will be the closest full moon to Earth this year, meaning that it will be the biggest and brightest.<\/p>\n

When is the supermoon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This supermoon will coincide with Bonfire Night celebrations and appear in our sky on Wednesday, November 5<\/strong>.\u00a0It\u2019ll rise at around\u00a03.55pm\u00a0but will be at its\u00a0closest point to Earth at\u00a010.30pm<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why is it called a \u2018beaver moon\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The November full moon is called the Beaver Moon after the fact that\u00a0beavers are particularly active this time of year, building dams and stocking up on food for the winter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is the forecast?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although some rain is forecast during the day on Wednesday, it looks like things should clear up by the evening. It will still be cloudy, though, so we may not get the best possible view of the supermoon this time around.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When is the next supermoon in 2025?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The third and final supermoon of 2025 will happen on Thursday, December 4<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best places in London to see the supermoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

To see the supermoons in their full glory, head somewhere that\u2019s high up and has an unobstructed view of the sky with as little light pollution as possible. Spots like\u00a0Primrose Hill<\/a>,\u00a0Greenwich Park<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Parliament Hill<\/a>\u00a0will all give you good panoramic views of the sky and\u00a0Morden Hall Park<\/a>\u00a0is the best place to go\u00a0for minimal light pollution.<\/p>\n

Top tips for viewing and photographing the supermoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need for any special equipment, the super moon will easily be visible with the naked eye. But like we said, the darker and clearer an area, the better. The best opportunity for a stunning photo will be when the moon is low on the horizon (either when it rises or sets), as this is normally when it appears the largest and when it has a dramatic golden-orange hue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
