November full moon 2025: The Beaver supermoon will be the biggest and brightest of the year

A bright full moon against a black sky.

The full moon of November, called the Beaver Moon, will be full illuminated on Nov. 5 at 8:19 a.m. Eastern Time (1319 GMT), according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. This moon will also be a "supermoon," meaning the full moon coincides with our satellite's closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. It will be the biggest and brightest full moon of 2025.

Two days later, the just-past full moon will occult Beta Tauri, otherwise known as Elnath. The occultation will be visible from South America and Africa and take place on the night of Nov. 7-8.
