November 5th 2025
Largest Full Moon of the Year

Largest Full Moon of the yaer

Wednesday is the day: it's full moon. That's why our Earth's companion is shining brightly in the sky these days. But it is also special in its own way.

The November full moon is the largest this year and is therefore a so-called "supermoon" because the moon is currently almost 30,000 kilometres closer to Earth than average.

However, the difference in size compared to a normal full moon is hardly noticeable. At best, it appears brighter than usual.

Did you know?

The full moon in November is also known as the "Fog Moon" due to the season. In North America, however, it is called the "Beaver Moon" because the indigenous people used to hunt beavers at this time of year.

Sky watchers across India can witness the last and brightest supermoon of 2025 tonight, November 5.

The best time to watch is just after sunset, when the moon rises on the eastern horizon. People in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata can see it clearly if skies are not cloudy.

No telescope is needed, just check the weather radar for clear skies or another area near you for a better visibility, and enjoy the glowing full moon lighting up the night sky.

A perfect evening for sky lovers across the country!
