The November Supermoon, also referred to as the Beaver Moon, lit up the night sky on Wednesday, November 5, with its remarkable brightness and size. This is the second of three supermoons in 2025 and the closest full moon to Earth this year. 

This supermoon was about 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon, making it the biggest and brightest lunar event of the year.

The November Supermoon will make its closest approach to Earth at about 357,000 kilometers away, roughly 17,000 miles closer than a typical full moon. This proximity makes the Moon appear larger and brighter than usual, earning it the term "supermoon."

The supermoon will be visible from almost every part of the globe, weather and cloud cover permitting, offering a widespread audience a chance to witness this spectacular lunar event.

Skywatchers across India can also see the supermoon, which reached its peak brightness at 6:49 PM IST.Major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Chandigarh, and Patna can all expect a clear view if weather permits.

However, smog might be a factor in some areas like Delhi.The November full moon, known as the Beaver Moon, gets its name from the beavers' busy activity this time of year, building homes and dams in preparation for winter under the bright moonlight.
