The full Moon comes at 14:54 UTC on 24 November, 360,754 km from Earth by our Astronomy Engine calculation, about a day before perigee (359,335 km on the 25th). NASA calls it the first of three supermoons in a row; December’s full Moon on the 24th is the closest of 2026 (356,729 km). It rises around sunset: in Istanbul at 17:08 local time (sunset 17:39), in Vienna at 15:28 (sunset 16:07). Honest note: a supermoon looks up to about 13% wider than the year’s farthest full Moon, but next to nothing in the sky you will not notice the difference; the huge orange Moon on the horizon is an illusion, made bigger by our brains and redder by the air. Our take: catch the moonrise — that is the moment worth seeing.
