This Weekend’s Rare October Harvest Moon Will Rise as a Supermoon

The Harvest Moon in the UK will rise on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, combining a Harvest Moon and supermoon to create the biggest, brightest full Moon of 2025.
Astronomical timing explains the name and role of the Harvest Moon, named for being nearest the fall equinox and aiding farmers; Space.com notes October Harvest Moons occur about 18 times between 1970 and 2050.
Peak illumination occurs at 11:47 p.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 6, and the Harvest Moon will be 224,599 miles away, making it the third-closest full moon of 2025.
Skywatchers should note the moon may obscure many Draconid meteors during the peak overnight on Oct. 8, with about 10 meteors per hour expected, as bright moonlight dims visibility.
The Harvest supermoon starts a series of consecutive supermoons in 2025, visible to novice stargazers with binoculars and telescopes optional, and the Beaver Moon on Nov. 5, 2025 follows as another supermoon.
