What's a Supermoon? The Science Made Simple
A supermoon is commonly defined as a full Moon occurring within ~90% of its closest point to Earth (perigee). This astronomical alignment creates a Moon that appears up to ~14% larger and ~30% brighter than an apogee (farthest-distance) full Moon—sometimes called a micromoon—particularly dramatic when viewed at the horizon during moonrise.
2025 Supermoon Schedule (Pacific Time)
| Date (PT) | Moon Name | Why Go |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 6 | Harvest | Classic fall vibes |
| Nov 5 | Beaver | Closest & brightest of 2025 |
| Dec 4 | Cold | Crisp winter skies |

Moonrise varies by location—check your city's moonrise time for precision.
Expert Viewing Strategies: 5 Professional Tips
1. Target the Golden Window
For the most dramatic view, watch moonrise near sunset—the Moon looks largest against foreground landmarks. Aim for the first 10–20 minutes after local moonrise for optimal effect.
2. Strategic Positioning
- Moonrise viewing: Face east
- Moonset viewing: Face west
- Use compass apps for precise directional guidance
3. Foreground Framing
Incorporate architectural elements, natural landmarks, or coastal features to create compelling compositions and size perspective.
4. Camera Settings Optimization
Reduce exposure settings on mobile devices to capture lunar surface details without overexposure. Pro tip: Tap the Moon on your screen and adjust exposure slider downward.
5. Comfort Preparation
Pack weather-appropriate gear including blankets, warm beverages, and portable seating. Coastal locations may experience increased wind conditions.
