Don’t Miss October 2025’s Super Hunter’s Moon – A Dazzling Full Moon Spectacle

Biggest Supermoon of 2025, Beaver Moon & Taurid ‘Fireball’ Show Collide This Week

What Is the Beaver Moon and Why Does It Matter? Each month’s full moon carries a traditional name tied to seasonal rhythms. November’s full moon is widely known as the “Beaver Moon.” According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, this name harkens back to a time when beavers finish preparations for winter – gathering food and retreating to their lodges once ponds start to freeze economictimes.indiatimes.com. It was also the prime season for trappers in North America to catch beavers for their thick winter pelts during the fur trade era economictimes.indiatimes.com. In other words, the Beaver Moon signaled an important period

Today’s Moon Is a Record Supermoon: See 2025’s Biggest, Brightest Full Moon (Nov 5) — What to Know, When to Look, and Why It Matters

Today’s Moon, explained At 13:19 UTC (08:19 ET) the Moon reached the exact Full Moon moment — the point when Sun, Earth and Moon line up with Earth in the middle. Timeanddate summarizes it neatly: “Full Moon is the only phase where the Moon is up all night.” Time and Date Later today, around 22:30 UTC, the Moon hits perigee (its closest point this month), tightening the geometry into what popular usage calls a supermoon. NASA’s definition: “A ‘supermoon’ occurs when a full Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, [perigee].” The result is

Beaver Moon 2025: November’s Supermoon Spectacle Illuminates Sky and Storytelling

Don’t Miss the Beaver Moon – 2025’s Brightest Supermoon Peaks This Week

The Brightest Supermoon of 2025 Is Here Skywatchers are in for a treat as the year’s brightest full moon takes to the sky this week. November’s full moon – known as the Beaver Moon – will reach its peak illumination on the morning of November 5, 2025, and it’s no ordinary full moon. It’s a “supermoon”, meaning the moon is near its closest point to Earth in its orbit during its full phase. This makes the lunar disc appear a bit larger and a lot more luminous than usual. In fact, this Beaver Moon supermoon will be so luminous that

Double Meteor Shower Spectacle: Draconid and Orionid Displays Will Light Up October’s Night Sky

Meteor Mania Incoming: Supermoon, Fireballs and Aurora Alerts in Early November 2025

Major Meteor Showers Lighting Up Early November Early November’s sky features long-running meteor showers rather than any single dramatic outburst. The Southern Taurids (active late Sept–Nov 12, peak ~Nov 5) and Northern Taurids (Oct 13–Dec 2, peak ~Nov 9) are joined by the annual Leonid stream (active Nov 3–Dec 2, peak Nov 17). AMS notes that these two Taurid sources and the Leonids “keep the skies active” in November, making it one of the better months for northern observers amsmeteors.org. In practice, the Taurids each produce only a handful of meteors per hour under dark skies, but many are fireballs. AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Lada explains that the Taurids

Beaver Supermoon 2025: Get Ready for the Biggest, Brightest Full Moon of the Year

What Is a Supermoon? A supermoon is not an official astronomical term, but rather a popular way to describe a full moon that coincides with the Moon’s perigee (its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit). As NASA explains, the Moon’s orbit is oval-shaped, so full moons can occur at varying distances. When a full moon happens near perigee, the Moon appears larger and brighter in our sky livescience.com. In fact, NASA notes that the full Moon can look up to ~14% bigger and 30% brighter at perigee than at its farthest point (apogee) livescience.com. Such perigee full moons

Double Meteor Shower Spectacle: Draconid and Orionid Displays Will Light Up October’s Night Sky

Meteor Storm or Moonlit Fizzle? Draconid ‘Dragon’ Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight with Skywatchers on Alert

The Draconids: A “Dragon” in the Night Sky Every October, the Draconid meteor shower gives skywatchers a chance – however slim – to see fireballs from the Dragon. The Draconids occur when Earth passes through dust debris shed by Comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner, a small periodic comet that orbits the sun every 6.6 years ts2.tech. As these cometary bits hit Earth’s atmosphere at a relatively languid pace, they burn up and streak across the sky as meteors (often called “shooting stars”) ts2.tech. The Draconids take their name from the constellation Draco, from which the meteors appear to radiate. Because Draco is a northern constellation (its “head” near

Two Comets Will Light Up October’s Night Sky – When and How to Watch

Two Comets Will Light Up October’s Night Sky – When and How to Watch

Two Icy Visitors from the Outer Solar System This fall’s night sky brings not one but two comets into view – a rare cosmic coincidence that has amateur astronomers buzzing. Comet C/2025 A6 (nicknamed Lemmon) and Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) both formed in the frigid outskirts of the solar system and have traveled inward for the first time in millennia. “These features make ‘Lemmon’ a striking reminder of the icy wanderers that visit the inner solar system from the distant Oort Cloud,” noted astronomer Aleix Roig after capturing the comet’s eerie green glow in late September space.com. Comets like these

Double Meteor Shower Spectacle: Draconid and Orionid Displays Will Light Up October’s Night Sky

Draconid Meteor Shower – October’s Early-Show “Dragon” Fireworks The Draconid meteor shower – emanating from the northern constellation Draco (the Dragon) – kicks off the month’s skywatching excitement. In 2025 the Draconids are active from October 6 to 10, with peak activity predicted on the evening of October 8 (into the early hours of Oct. 9) earthsky.org. Unlike most meteor showers which are strongest after midnight, the Draconids are best viewed in the early evening after nightfall earthsky.org. That’s because Draco’s “head,” where the shower’s radiant lies, is highest in the sky in the evening and then sinks lower later

The 2025 Harvest Moon brings a spectacular conjunction of lunar and celestial events. On Oct. 6 (Oct. 7 UTC) the Moon will be full and at perigee, meaning it’s unusually close to Earth livescience.com nationalgeographic.com.
