People around the world have been able to catch a glimpse of the Beaver supermoon as it rose on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The largest, brightest Moon of the year has been shining in all its glory in the areas lucky enough to have a clear sky. <\/p>\n

Wednesday’s supermoon is bigger and brighter than earlier supermoons this year due to the fact that it is the closest full Moon to Earth.<\/p>\n

This happens because the Moon does not orbit the Earth in a perfect circle – its axis of orbit more closely resembles an oval.<\/p>\n

The name Beaver Moon follows a longstanding tradition of nicknaming supermoons. <\/p>\n

While there is some disagreement as to the origins of the name, some sources attribute it to First Nations tribes in North America historically setting beaver traps in November.<\/p>\n

The last supermoon of the year will follow this month’s Beaver Moon, taking place on 4 December.<\/p>\n

Photographers across the globe have been sharing their photos while out and about capturing the supermoon.<\/p>\n
