November’s Sky Shines with the Beaver Moon
Sky watchers and lunar lovers, get ready for a treat! November 5, 2025, brings us the largest supermoon of the year, fondly called the ‘Beaver Moon.’ This dazzling full moon lights up the fall sky and is a dream come true for amateur photographers and stargazers alike.
Why Is It Called the Beaver Moon?
The name ‘Beaver Moon’ comes from Native American folklore. November was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, ensuring a warm winter ahead. Now, it marks a moment when the moon appears extra bright and enormous as it reaches its closest point to Earth. This supermoon’s glow is so powerful, you might want to wear your sunglasses at night!
Whether you’re snapping photos, making wishes, or just soaking in the glow, this celestial event is a reminder that sometimes you just have to look up. Honestly, who needs a flashlight when the universe has you covered?
