When Is the October 2025 Supermoon? Date, Time and How to See the Harvest Moon
The October full moon, also called the Harvest Moon, is the first of three supermoons in 2025 and appears larger and brighter due to its closer orbit to Earth, NASA said.
- The October 6, 2025 full moon, visible across the UK and Northern Hemisphere, is a supermoon that also serves as this year's Harvest Moon.
- This event happens because the full moon aligns with the closest point in its orbit to Earth and is the first Harvest Moon since 2020 to occur in October instead of September.
- The Harvest Moon is traditionally associated with agricultural activity, enabling farmers to harvest crops at night due to its brightness and extended visibility around sunset.
- The supermoon will reach peak illumination at about 11:47 p.m. ET, appearing larger and brighter than usual, and NASA described it as "giving stargazers a special sight to remember."
- This supermoon in October 2025 is the initial one in a series of three back-to-back supermoons occurring later this year, offering excellent viewing prospects if the weather remains clear.
