Moon at Aphelion – November 3, 2025
On November 3, 2025, at 16:51 IST, the Moon reaches its aphelion—the furthest point from the Sun in its orbit
sitting 0.9941 AU from the Sun. At this moment, Earth is 0.9920 AU from the Sun, and the Moon is 362,000 km from Earth.
This rare alignment happens around the full moon, when the Moon circles the far side of our planet as seen from the Sun.
A fascinating moment in the dance of our closest celestial neighbor!
