You can see the first supermoon of 2025 from 6.20pm tonight (Tuesday), marking the start of three consecutive supermoons in the final three months of this year.

It will be the first supermoon since November last year and the largest full Moon of the year so far.

It will appear at its biggest at 4.48am tomorrow (Wednesday).

Full Moons in October are known as a Hunter's Moon but tonight's is also this year's Harvest Moon as it rises closest to the autumn equinox, traditionally a time for gathering crops.

The next two supermoons will be on November 5 and December 4.

It is called a supermoon because it appears larger and brighter than the usual Moon.

This is because the Moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical, not circular, meaning that the distance between the two varies throughout the year.

When the Moon is full at its closest point to Earth, it can be called a 'supermoon'.

They can seem to be up to 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter than normal full moons.

The skies over West Berkshire look set to be slightly cloudy at times this evening but, unlike across most of northern England, the supermoon should be clearly visible here.
