Asteroid 2025 TP5, discovered just two days before its approach, will fly past Earth on October 15 at a dangerously close distance of about 60,328 miles—roughly a quarter of the lunar distance. Measuring 54 feet wide,

At moonrise and moonset, the moon illusion is in effect, making the beaver moon appear even larger. The moon illusion is when a supermoon is low in the sky, giving sky gazers the best chance to observe the full supermoon bigger and brighter than typical, according to Time and Date.

Unlike the Moon, which is gravitationally bound to Earth, 2025 PN7 is classified as a quasi-moon — a near-Earth object that follows a similar orbital path but is primarily influenced by the Sun’s gravity. Measuring between 18 and 36 meters wide, the asteroid is about the size of a mid-rise building.

The phenomenon of a Full Moon arises when our planet, Earth, is precisely sandwiched between the Sun and the Moon. This alignment ensures the entire side of the Moon that faces us gleams under sunlight.

In 2025, one of the brightest celestial events of the year will present a rare sight to the inhabitants of Russia. We are talking about the Hunting Supermoon, which can be observed in early November.
