This Wednesday (November 5), the biggest and brightest 'supermoon' of 2025 will take to the stage of nature. This night is not just an ordinary night; the moon itself will become the main attraction in the sky tonight, competing with the fireworks of Europe's 'Bonfire Night'. It is like a strange combination of light and mystery, which is waiting especially for you.
Why is this night so special?
According to a report by The Guardian, this week's nights are going to be different—a little more light and charming. Imagine, the moon like a huge silver plate right outside your window! Its light may even fill your home with an unearthly softness.
When the moon falls in love with the Earth and comes closest, it becomes a 'supermoon' in the light of the full moon. As a result of this proximity, the full moon will become much bigger, brighter and more attractive than usual.
A cosmic dance
To understand this, you need to know about this cosmic dance between the Earth and the Moon. The Moon does not revolve around the Earth exactly in a circle, its path is somewhat oval. As it travels along this path, the Moon sometimes comes close to the Earth (which scientists call 'perigee'), and sometimes moves away ('apogee').
Tonight, the Moon will be closest to the Earth—at the 'perigee' position, just 220,000 miles away! This closeness makes today's Moon the best of the year.
The Moon's Primitive Call: 'Beaver Moon'
This Moon has another interesting name—'Beaver Moon'. These names come from the ancient vibrations of nature. On this cold November evening, beavers are most busy building their winter shelter. The light of this full moon is a witness to their primitive preparation. Just as beavers respond to the call of nature, tonight's Moon is also calling you to return to the primitive beauty of nature.
Don't miss this magical moment
All you need to enjoy this perfect blessing of nature is a clear sky. So keep an eye on the weather forecast and find the best view point in your city.
Either put your phone aside tonight. Take your loved ones with you, or enjoy it in solitude. Go to your balcony, rooftop or an open field and witness this magical moment. Because such a night does not come again.
(But yes, if for some reason you miss it, you will have to wait until December 4 for the last supermoon of this year.
