US EditionHarvest Moon Rises Tonight | First of Three Consecutive Supermoons
The October 2025 supermoon will appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter, marking the start of three consecutive supermoons late in the year, according to NASA.
- On October 7, the first supermoon of 2025 will rise into UK skies around 18:20 GMT, coinciding with the Harvest Moon and Hunter's Moon.
- NASA explains a supermoon forms when a full Moon occurs near lunar perigee, the Moon's closest orbital point to Earth, and the Moon's elliptical orbit causes this variation.
- At about 224,600 miles from Earth the October Moon will appear about 30% brighter and 14% larger than a typical full Moon, NASA says.
- The supermoon should remain visible for a few consecutive nights, but Brits should monitor forecasts as storm Amy may bring cloud cover.
- Observers should note this October event kicks off a run of supermoons through the year's final months, with the next on Nov. 5, 2025 near 225,829 miles.
