The supermoon will rise over Oklahoma City just before sunset, offering a clear sky and chilly temperatures. This will be the largest full moon of 2025, and Oklahoma City residents are in for an impressive view.
The November full moon reaches its peak shortly before dawn, at 7:19 a.m., just after it sets at 7:06 a.m. in Oklahoma City. Although the Moon will look full on the evening of November 5, it will have already reached its exact full phase earlier that morning.
The Moon will reappear at 5:26 p.m. that evening, appearing full to the naked eye despite the peak having passed. This slight timing shift means the full moon phase occurs during the day rather than at night.
A supermoon happens when the full moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth, making it appear brighter and closer than usual. This difference is subtle and not easily noticed without instruments or comparison.
There are three supermoons in 2025, occurring in the last three months of the year. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, one of these is the Beaver Moon, which falls on Wednesday, November 5.
"A supermoon is a Full Moon when it is within 90% of its closest distance to Earth."
Summary: November’s 2025 supermoon, known as the Beaver Moon, offers a special viewing opportunity as it peaks before dawn but appears full after moonrise at sunset in Oklahoma City.
