On November 5, 2025, sky-watchers around the world will be treated to a rare celestial spectacle — the “Beaver” Supermoon, the final supermoon of the year. This event occurs when the Moon reaches its full phase at the same time it is at perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit. As a result, the Moon will appear brighter, larger, and more striking than usual, creating a breathtaking display in the night sky.
Although Halloween has passed, the nights remain filled with an air of mystery, and the arrival of the Beaver Moon only adds to the enchantment. This name has deep roots in Native American folklore. Historically, November marked the period when beavers prepared their lodges for winter or when hunters set traps before waters froze. Today, the name serves as a poetic reminder of nature’s rhythms and seasonal cycles.
The Beaver Supermoon will appear approximately 14% larger and up to 30% brighter than a typical full moon due to its proximity to Earth. Astronomers expect the Moon to reach its peak illumination shortly after sunset, rising with a warm golden hue before glowing white high in the sky. If weather conditions cooperate, the sight should be visible without any special equipment — just a clear sky and a good view toward the horizon.
This supermoon also symbolizes the end of 2025’s lunar spectacles. Over the past year, stargazers have witnessed several impressive moon events, but this one stands apart as the final opportunity to admire such an enlarged lunar display until next year.
Whether you’re an astronomy enthusiast or simply someone who loves quiet, magical nights, mark November 5 on your calendar. Look up — the last supermoon of the year promises to be a moment of cosmic beauty worth pausing for.
