The largest supermoon of 2025 rises tonight: What to know about the November full moon

Anthony Wood published 5 November 25

November's full supermoon occurs as the moon draws close to Earth in its 27-day orbit.

Amalthea, the largest of Jupiter's inner satellites, casts a shadow on the giant gas planet in this photo taken by NASA's Juno spacecraft. The moon's shadow has an elongated shape because of its position in relation to Jupiter, but also because the moon itself has an odd shape. Because Jupiter has at least 69 moons, solar eclipses like this one are more common than they are here on Earth.
