Tonight is the brightest full moon of the year, aka a supermoon. This one is also known as a “beaver moon”, because it happens in November when beavers become active.
🌅 Sunset today is at 5:10pm
🌕 Moonrise starts at 5:01pm
Because sunset and moonrise are so close together, we might miss when the moon looks the largest near the horizon. However, even a little later in the night the moon should still be a glorious sight.
