Don't miss 2025's closest full moon with this free livestream from Italy with the Virtual Telescope Project. The livestream will begin at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT)

Tonight’s supermoon is 2025’s biggest full moon since 2019 and until Christmas Eve 2026. Here's when to see it rise and watch it online.

The two lunar impacts were picked up by Daichi Fujii, a curator at the Hiratsuka City Museum in Japan, who keeps his telescopes trained on the moon’s surface. On Thursday, at 8:33 p.m. local time, he spotted a brief luminous outburst in the darkness. Then, on Saturday at 8:49 p.m., “I caught another bright one ,” he said.

As of Monday, Nov. 4, the moon phase is Waxing Gibbous. There will be 98% of the moon lit up tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.

While all zodiacs feel the full moon's energy, the fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are getting hit the hardest because the lunation happens in their angular houses.

November’s full beaver moon and the Southern Taurid meteor shower peak on the same day this week. Here’s how and when to glimpse them.

The moon's peak will occur after the sun rises in the Eastern part of the U.S. on Nov. 5, but backyard astronomers shouldn't worry. The moon will still look bright and beautiful the night of Tuesday, Nov. 4, and Wednesday, Nov. 5. The moon will also look full for several days after it peaks.
