(WDNews) — The moon will appear slightly bigger and brighter Wednesday night, November 5, as the closest and brightest supermoon of 2025 lights up the Wiregrass sky.
A supermoon happens when a full moon coincides with the moon’s closest point to Earth in its orbit. NASA says this makes the moon look up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than when it’s farthest away.
This is the second of three supermoons this year — following October’s and ahead of December’s — but November’s will be the closest, with the moon coming within about 222,000 miles of Earth.
No telescope is needed to enjoy it. If skies are clear, step outside after sunset Wednesday for a bright, beautiful view of the final and biggest supermoon of the year.
