The term supermoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 as either a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth.
A full moon is simply when the entire moon is illuminated by the sun, making it appear like its glowing to us.
When does November’s full moon reach peak illumination in the UK?
The moon will be its brightest on Friday, November 15, at exactly 9.28pm so stay up and keep your eyes open to see the moon in all of its glory.
Youll be able to enjoy the glow for a minute or two before the moon begins dimming slightly in illumination.
The moon will become full at 4.28pm on Friday, but not begin glowing until after sundown (obviously).
When will the next full moon and supermoon be?
The next full moon will fall on December 15, reaching its peak at 4.02am. This moon is referred to as the Cold Moon.
The next supermoon wont be for a while, though. It returns to our skies on March 29, 2025. At least itll be warmer!
