'Beaver Moon' to Be Visible to Stargazers

The Beaver Moon, named for beavers preparing for winter, will be a supermoon appearing larger and brighter than usual, a rare event not repeating soon, experts say.

  • On Nov. 5, the Beaver Moon reaches peak illumination at 8:19 a.m. ET and is visible at 1:19pm GMT in the United Kingdom as a supermoon near Earth.
  • According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the name Beaver Moon reflects beavers readying lodges and trappers setting beaver traps during the fur trade in the Northern Hemisphere.
  • Measurements indicate the supermoon appears about 7.9% larger and around 16% brighter, as Star Walk estimates, due to its proximity at roughly 226,000 miles, according to NASA.
  • Best nights to watch are Nov. 4 and Nov. 5, with peak just after sunset, from rural or semi-rural areas while letting eyes adjust to the dark.
  • Coinciding with other events, the Beaver Moon rises as the southern Taurids peak on Nov. 4‑5 and is followed by the Leonids active Nov. 6‑30 with a peak around Nov. 17‑18; this is the second of three 2025 supermoons with another on Dec. 4, 2025.
