Catch the Beaver Moon: The Last Supermoon of 2023
The sky's about to put on a show, folks! Get ready to catch the Beaver Moon, the final supermoon of 2023, gracing us with its presence this November. It's a sight you won't want to miss, especially since it's the last supermoon until next year.
But what exactly is a supermoon? Well, it's basically a full moon that looks extra big and bright because it's closer to Earth than usual. Think of it as a cosmic close-up! The Beaver Moon gets its name from Native American tribes who associated it with the time of year when beavers were busy preparing for winter.
Why November's Full Moon is Special
This November, we're in for a treat with the Beaver Moon being particularly close to Earth. This means it'll appear even bigger and brighter than usual, making it a truly spectacular sight. It's a great time to grab a blanket, find a dark spot, and just marvel at the moon's grandeur.
When to See the Beaver Moon
The Beaver Moon reaches peak fullness on November 12th, 2023, at 5:30 am EST. So, technically, you'll have the best chance to see it late in the evening on the 11th, or early morning on the 12th. Of course, you'll have a few days before and after to catch a glimpse of the moon's brilliance.
How to Make the Most of the Supermoon
For the best view, find a spot with minimal light pollution. You'll be able to see the supermoon's amazing glow more clearly. Consider using binoculars or a telescope to enhance the view even more. Don't forget to capture some pictures of this celestial wonder!
So, grab your loved ones, cozy up, and enjoy the last supermoon of 2023. It's a reminder of the beauty and wonder that exists right above our heads.
