Beaver Moon 2024

 

Beaver Moon 2024

November’s full moon is known as the Beaver moon because it rises at a time of year when beavers are particularly active preparing for the cold winter months to come. It is also a time when traps would be set for beavers to ensure Native Americans had sufficient warm furs in the winter.

The Beaver moon on Friday 15th November was the fourth consecutive supermoon of 2024.There will not be another supermoon until October 2025. 

A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon’s nearest approach to Earth, its perigee. At its closest, the moon is about 14,000 miles nearer than usual and appears brighter and larger than usual.

    We had an unusually clear sky so the moon illuminated our bedroom - it was quite magical.

    So that's what it was- I went out in the drive last night to take a photo. The moon cooperated , smiling broadly! Interesting that this is the time for the Beaver.
