"The first supermoon of the year might have made us wait ten months for it, but, lucky for us, we're getting spoiled with two more before the new year. And even better tonight's is expected to be the best of the bunch. The supermoon, known as a beaver supermoon is projected to appear even bigger and brighter than the last one and it's going to be framed against all the sparkle of Bonfire Night."
"Without getting into too much technical detail, the moon orbits around the Earth in an oval, meaning it pops up at different distances throughout the month. A supermoon is when the moon is around 90 per cent of its closest point to Earth when the sun, Earth and moon are aligned. A supermoon can look to be up to 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent more luminous than a normal full moon."
"The year's second and brightest supermoon - the Beaver Supermoon - appears on November 5, Bonfire Night This supermoon will be the closest, biggest, and brightest full moon of 2025, appearing up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual; it rises around 3:55 pm and reaches its closest point to Earth at 10:30pm Best seen from high, open spots like Parliament Hill, Primrose Hill, or Greenwich Park; skies may be cloudy but rain should clear"
The Beaver Supermoon occurs on November 5, Bonfire Night, and will be the closest, biggest, and brightest full moon of 2025. The moon rises around 3:55 pm and reaches its closest point to Earth at about 10:30 pm. Observers in London can view it from high open locations such as Parliament Hill, Primrose Hill, or Greenwich Park, though skies may be cloudy with rain expected to clear. A supermoon occurs when the moon is near 90% of its closest orbit point, making it up to 14% larger and 30% more luminous than a typical full moon. The November full moon is called the Beaver Moon because beavers prepare for winter at this time.
