Closest Supermoon of 2025 Rises Wednesday, the Beaver Moon

Overview

• The Nov. 5 full Moon will be the year's nearest, at just under 357,000 km from Earth, producing a modest boost in apparent size and brightness.
• Across Brazil, moonrise is expected around 18:45 in São Paulo, 18:14 in Belém, and 17:28 in Recife (BRT), with the most dramatic views just after sunset near the horizon.
• The event is the second of three supermoons in 2025 and should remain visible over three nights, with the final supermoon scheduled for Dec. 4.
• It is fully observable with the naked eye, weather permitting; for photos, steady a phone or use simple optics to reduce blur.
• Tidal effects will be only a few centimeters higher than a typical full Moon, according to Royal Museums Greenwich.
