ISLAMABAD: The brightest and largest moon of 2025 will appear tonight, on Wednesday night, and will be visible across Pakistan after sunset.
The astronomical experts said it would be the biggest supermoon of the year, appearing larger and brighter than usual when it reaches its closest point to Earth.
A supermoon is a phenomenon in which the Moon comes closest in its orbit to Earth, appearing bigger and brighter. The earlier supermoon this year was viewed on October 7 by people across the globe, including Pakistan.
On November 5, the moon will be about 356,980 kilometers away from Earth, which would make its appearance about 7.9 percent bigger and 16 percent brighter than usual.
Astronomers say that three to four supermoons happen each year. The view is particularly spectacular when the Moon is near the horizon and, because it is compared against various other objects like trees and buildings, appears even larger than it really is due to an optical illusion.
Experts recommend viewing the supermoon within the first hour after it rises, when it will appear at its most striking. The final supermoon for 2025 will be visible on December 5.
