Lunar calendar November 2025 begins with the Full Moon at 10:19 am on the 5th. The cycle continues until the 28th, covering the four main phases of the satellite. Observers can track visible changes in the night sky throughout the month.
The phases occur on specific dates with precise times. They last approximately seven days each. The phenomenon depends on the position of the Moon in relation to the Sun and the Earth.
- Full Moon: November 5th at 10:19am
- Winging Moon: November 12th at 2:28am
- New Moon: November 20th at 3:47am
- Crescent Moon: November 28th at 03:58
Relative positions define visibility
The Moon reflects sunlight without producing its own illumination. Its appearance varies depending on its alignment with the Sun and Earth.
At New Moon, the satellite is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. This configuration makes the illuminated face of the planet invisible.
Characteristics of each lunar phase
Crescent Moon displays illumination in the western half. From the Southern Hemisphere, it resembles the letter C.
Full Moon occurs when the Moon is opposite the Sun. The entire surface reflects light, increasing nighttime visibility.
The waning Moon shows a shape similar to D or C. The variation depends on observation in the Southern Hemisphere.
Supermoon highlights November
A supermoon occurs on November 5th. The phenomenon repeats itself on December 4th, outside the current month.
This event occurs when the Full Moon coincides with perigee. Proximity increases apparent size by up to 14%.
Astronomers record larger visual diameter. The luminosity increases by about 30% compared to apogee.
Complete lunar cycle in detail
The Moon’s synodic period lasts 29.5 days on average. November 2025 presents a partial cycle starting on the 5th and ending on the 28th.
Observations require clear skies for best viewing. Times consider Brazil’s local time zone.
Practical observation of the phases
New Moon does not appear at night because it is aligned with the Sun. The satellite remains in the daytime sky.
Crescent Moon appears after sunset. It grows progressively until the full phase.
Full Moon rises at dusk and sets at dawn. Provides maximum illumination throughout the night.
Waning Moon gradually decreases. Visible in the second half of the night until sunrise.
Phenomena associated with the calendar
November’s supermoon attracts attention from photographers. The apparent size facilitates detailed records.
The cycle influences tides with greater intensity during extreme phases. Full and New Moon generate spring tides.
