The biggest and brightest supermoon of the year will be visible on the evening of Wednesday, November 5. 🌕

This is the second supermoon of 2025 and follows October’s “harvest moon”, which kicked off a series of supermoons.

A third supermoon, known as the “cold moon” is due to rise on December 5.

While the supermoon will peak at 11:59pm, Dr. Brad Tucker, astrophysicist from the Australian National University says the best time to see the supermoon is as it’s rising above the horizon.

In Brisbane, this will be between 6:09pm and 6:20pm.

“When it’s rising on the horizon... that’s when you get to see it looking really huge,” Dr Tucker says.
“The moon’s orbit isn’t a perfect circle, it varies by 40,000 kilometres, which is quite a bit.

“So, sometimes it’s at its closest point in the orbit, which is what we call its perigee, so it’s a bit closer to Earth - just shy of 30,000 kilometres - and so if it’s closer to the Earth it can look bigger and therefore brighter in the sky,” he says.

Brisbane’s most magical light experience returns!
