Set your alarm early, Prince George—the Beaver Moon hits peak brilliance this Wednesday, November 5 at 5:19 AM PST, and it’s not just any full moon. This one’s a supermoon, meaning it’s swinging closer to Earth and glowing brighter than usual—like nature’s own spotlight over the North.
🦫 Why “Beaver”?
November’s full moon earned its name from Indigenous traditions and early settlers who noticed beavers hustling to build their winter lodges this time of year. It’s a moon of preparation, instinct, and cozy survival.
🌌 What to Expect
- Big, bold, and low on the horizon—especially just before sunrise
- A golden glow that fades to silver as it climbs
- Crisp fall air and a perfect excuse to step outside with a warm drink
Whether you’re up early for work, walking the dog, or just moon-curious, this is one of the most striking lunar moments of the year. It will be just 357,000 km from Earth—making it the closest full moon of the year.
