The Hunter's Supermoon, 2025's closest full moon, will rise over Houston with clear skies expected for prime viewing across Southeast Texas.

Usually, November's full moon is called the Beaver Moon. But every 3 years, the full moon names in September, October, and November change due to the fall equinox. The fall equinox varies between September 21 and 24 due to the unequal orbit of the Earth around the Sun in a year.

On Wednesday, November 5, the Super Hunter's Moon peaks in illumination. The Hunter's Moon occurs in November roughly every 3 years, following an October Harvest Moon.

Wednesday starts chilly, but the afternoon will bring above average highs into the upper 70s. It’ll be a great day for outdoor plans, and it’ll be great evening for a view of the Full Super Hunter’s Moon.

Also tonight, the Southern Taurid meteor shower peaks with 5-10 green, gold, and orange hue meteors. Unfortunately, the supermoon will illuminate the sky to the point that you may find it hard to see many of the meteors. Later this month, the Leonid meteor shower peaks with greater numbers and closer to a darker, new moon sky.

The October full moon is set to be extra special this year because it’s a supermoon. Here is when to see it in Arizona and when is the next one.

A supermoon dazzled the Oklahoma sky on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Experts say the moon appeared 30% brighter and 14% larger than a normal full moon. The vibrant supermoon has been referred to as the Beaver Moon.

Nov. 17: The Leonid Meteor Shower should be best from 1 a.m. to dawn. Under dark sky conditions, the Leonids exhibit a maximum of about 10 to 15 meteors per hour. Nov. 5: Full hunter supermoon — largest and brightest full moon for 2025.
