October 6th marks the first of three supermoons in 2025, making the moon appear larger and brighter. This celestial event coincides with the Draconid meteor shower, offering a spectacular night for skywatchers. The supermoon will be visible across the U.S. with clear skies, providing an opportunity for everyone to enjoy our natural satellite.
The moon will appear slightly larger and brighter Monday night during what's known as a supermoon. This is because October is bringing us a supermoon in the first week of the month.
The supermoon will take over the sky on October 6, Monday, the same night that the Draconid meteor shower is set to begin, according to NASA. The supermoon is an incredible sight to see, as the moon will look around 30% brighter and up to 14% larger.
"It's an annual, worldwide event when moon enthusiasts come together to enjoy our natural satellite," NASA stated in its video "What's Up: October 2025 Skywatching Tips from NASA." "You can attend or host a moon-viewing party, or simply observe the Moon from wherever you are."

“The joy of a full moon is that if it's cloudy in your neighborhood on Monday night on the 6th, you can look Tuesday, and the moon will still look fairly full,” said Noah Petro, project scientist for NASA's Artemis III mission, which aims to land astronauts near the lunar south pole in 2027.

Will you be able to see October's supermoon?
As of Sunday, Oct. 5, the National Weather Service is predicting that most of the U.S. will have clear skies between 8 p.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 6, and 2 a.m. ET Tuesday, Oct. 7, but it will be cloudy in some areas.Everyone in the world can see a supermoon without special equipment if clear skies permit. But the difference can be tough to discern, especially if people haven't observed the regular moon on the nights leading up.
"If you go out and just look at the moon when it's very high in the sky, there is nothing relative to it to give you an idea of how big it looks," Derrick Pitts, chief astronomer with the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia said.
The spectacles continue in 2026 with two lunar eclipses: a total eclipse across much of North America, Asia and Australia in March, and a partial one in August across the Americas, Africa and Europe.
