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.

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
