Giant moon looms tonight — but what makes this "Beaver Moon" so special?
This week, stargazers are in for a treat as the "Beaver Moon" shines in the night sky. It's not just any full moon; it's the closest supermoon of 2025. What makes this celestial event particularly captivating is its impressive proximity to Earth.
The Beaver Moon is set to be the largest and brightest full moon of the year. It occurs when the moon reaches its peak illumination while simultaneously being at its closest point to Earth in its orbit. This year, the November full moon is anticipated to appear up to 14% larger than a typical full moon.
This spectacular lunar display is expected to peak on Wednesday. Many are calling it the biggest full moon of the year. Experts note that supermoons can appear up to 14% larger in diameter and 30% brighter than a normal full moon.
This event also coincides with the Leonid meteor shower, offering a double dose of cosmic wonder. Though the meteor shower might be slightly outshone by the supermoon's brilliance, it still provides an opportunity to witness shooting stars.
