Moon phases in November 2025: a detailed overview

November 2025 will be full of astronomical events related to the phases of the moon. One of the brightest full moons of the year, the supermoon, will take place this month. What phases of the Moon are expected in November 2025 — in the Izvestia article.

Moon Phase Calendar for November 2025

In November 2025, the Moon will go through several important phases, each of which will create unique conditions for observations. On November 5, there will be a full moon, which will also be a supermoon. On this day, the Moon will approach the Earth, and its diameter will look 14% larger, and its brightness will be 30% more intense than a normal full moon. This phenomenon is called the "Beaver Moon" because it coincides with the period when beavers begin to prepare for winter.

In a few days, on November 11, the last quarter of the moon will arrive. During this period, the moon will be half illuminated, and its shape will resemble a semicircle. This time is ideal for observing, as the moon is not too bright and allows you to see its details well.

On November 20, there will be a new moon when the Moon will be between the Earth and the Sun. At this point, its luminosity will be completely hidden, and this will create excellent conditions for observing deep space, such as nebulae and galaxies, which are usually hidden behind the light of the moon.

At the end of the month, on November 28, the Moon will move into the first quarter, when half of its disk will be illuminated. This period is also good for observations, as the Moon will be bright enough, but not too dazzling, which allows you to see its surfaces with high clarity.

Full Moon — November 5th

On November 5, 2025, there will be a full moon, which is also a supermoon. This means that the Moon will be at perigee, the closest point in its orbit to Earth. A supermoon makes the moon 14% larger and 30% brighter than a normal full moon. This phenomenon is called the "Beaver Moon" according to the old American calendar, as beavers prepare for winter at this time. The supermoon will be especially spectacular if you observe it near the horizon, near trees or buildings — so it will seem especially impressive.

New Moon — November 20th

On November 20, 2025, there will be a new moon when the Moon will be between the Earth and the Sun. This time is ideal for observing deep space, as the absence of moonlight allows you to better see dim objects such as nebulae and galaxies.

First quarter — November 28th

On November 28, 2025, the first quarter of the moon will arrive. During this period, the moon is half illuminated, and observers can see half of its disk. This time is suitable for observations, as the moon is neither too bright nor too dim.

Surveillance Tips

To observe the moon, choose places away from city lighting to avoid light pollution. Use binoculars or telescopes for detailed observation.

If you plan to photograph the moon, use a tripod and set the camera to a long shutter speed. When observing solar eclipses, use special solar filters to protect your eyes.
