Full Moon November 2026: Highlights and Observation
What makes this Full Moon special
This Full Moon is a supermoon: at the moment of the phase on November 24, 2026, the Moon is only about 361,000 km from Earth, well below the mean distance of 384,400 km. By the 90 percent rule (distance within the closest 10 percent of its orbit, perigee of this orbit about 359,000 km) it qualifies as a supermoon. In 2026 it is the 2nd closest of 13 Full Moons; it is about 8,000 km closer than the Full Moon of October (369,000 km) and about 4,000 km farther away than the one of December (357,000 km).
Observing from London
In London the Moon rises on November 24 at 15:11 GMT and sets the following morning at 09:09; the Sun sets at 16:01 and rises the next morning at 07:34. The Full Moon is therefore above the horizon all night long. Other locations in the UK differ by a few minutes.
Observing Full Moon November 2026
Best Timing
Shortly after moonrise, the full moon is close to the horizon — ideal for photos with a foreground. City skylines, trees, or bodies of water yield impressive compositions. The live view shows the exact moonrise for your location.
Photography Tip
Short exposure (1/250s–1/500s), low ISO (100–400), telephoto range. Smartphone: tap the moon manually, slide exposure control down. Use a tripod for sharpness at long focal lengths.
The Beaver Moon: Name & Folklore
Beaver Moon: November is when beavers finish their winter dams — and when the fur-trapping season began. Also called the Frost Moon.
Tip for November 2026
Cold November air is often exceptionally steady — telephoto shots of the high full moon come out sharper than in summer.
Special Note
Supermoon — the second-closest full moon of 2026 (perigee, ~357,000 km).
