Don't miss the celestial spectacle of the year's largest supermoon! On Wednesday, November 5, 2025, witness the moon's breathtaking brilliance as it reaches its closest point to Earth. This phenomenon occurs due to the moon's elliptical orbit, causing it to appear larger and brighter than usual. During this supermoon event, the moon will be approximately 357,000 kilometers away from Earth, making it the year's nearest full moon. As a result, it will be a staggering 8% larger and 16% brighter than the average full moon. Imagine the awe-inspiring sight of the moon's luminous edge creeping above the horizon as twilight envelops it. This spectacle is enhanced by the moon illusion, a fascinating optical effect that makes the moon seem larger when it's near the horizon and we have familiar objects to compare it with. As the moon ascends higher in the sky, our perception of its size diminishes, even though its actual size remains unchanged. So, mark your calendars and prepare to be amazed by this extraordinary celestial occurrence!
