Astronomy enthusiasts will have the chance to admire the biggest and brightest full moon of the year on November 5. The full moon will peak at 8:19 a.m. ET (8:19 p.m. on November 5, Vietnam time). This is the second of three supermoons this year. Photo: Guang Cao via Getty Images. This year’s biggest supermoon will be about 356,980 km from Earth. Accordingly, this is the closest full moon to Earth in 2025 and also the closest since February 2019. Photo: PA.
The full moon in November is often called the “Beaver Moon” by North Americans. According to Timeanddate, this name comes from the fact that beavers in the northeastern United States and Canada are often busy building dams at this time of year, under the light of a full moon.

The Super Beaver Moon is the second of three supermoons in 2025, following the Harvest Moon in October and will be followed by the Cold Moon in December. Photo: vice. A supermoon occurs when the Moon reaches its perigee (closest point to Earth) in its elliptical orbit, coinciding with the full moon phase. Photo: vice. At perigee, a full moon can appear about 14% larger and 30% brighter than at aphelion (farthest point from Earth), according to NASA. The Wolf Moon in January 2026 will also be a supermoon.

Although the full moon is officially on November 5, the best time to see the super beaver moon is on the evening of November 6. The full moon is usually best seen on the eastern horizon just after sunset. Photo: pjsells / GETTY IMAGES.
