In the sky this month: Early in the month: Mercury makes a favourable appearance in the evening sky. November 5: Full Moon, which also qualifies as a supermoon — the largest full Moon of 2025. November 6: The Moon passes close to the cluster Pleiades (M45) in the sky. November 11–12: Peak of the Northern Taurid meteor shower. November 17–18: Peak of the Leonid meteor shower — with favourable dark-sky conditions because the Moon will be minimal. November 20: New Moon, near lunar apogee (i.e., the farthest point in its orbit). This offers the darkest skies of the month for deep-sky observation. November 21: Uranus reaches opposition — meaning Earth is between Uranus and the Sun, so it’s best placed for viewing. astronomy.com/observing/s..
