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 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.

As of Thursday, Nov. 6, the moon phase is Waning Gibbous. This means 98% of the moon is 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.

The first flash, on Thursday, emerged just east of the 70-mile-wide Gassendi Crater. The second appeared west of Oceanus Procellarum, or the “Ocean of Storms”— a colossal 1,600-mile-long plain filled with crystallized magma.
