Set to make an appearance in the night sky this mid week, the Beaver Supermoon will be the second-to-last supermoon of 2025 and the closest supermoon of the year!<\/p>\n<p> <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-29493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/shutterstock_321634559-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"Image shows a bright moon in the sky with the silhouette of tree branches in front.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\"  \/>Photo via Shutterstock What is the Beaver Supermoon? <\/p>\n<p>The name traces back to the time of the fur trade in North America, coinciding with the time of year that beavers would hole up in their lodges with their caches of food and when trappers would have to secure beaver pelts ahead of coldest winter.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, various cultures and groups have called the November supermoon other names as well, including: \u201cFrost Moon\u201d, \u201cDigging Moon\u201d, \u201cRutting Moon\u201d, and \u201cFreezing Moon\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201csupermoon\u201d itself refers to a perigean Full Moon, or the occurrence of a Full Moon at the closest point of its orbit to Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Of the three supermoons of 2025, the Beaver Supermoon will be the year\u2019s closest. What that means is that its orbit will be closer than any of the other supermoons at 22,1817 miles from Earth \u2013 which is far, but looks cool!<\/p>\n<p> When to see the Beaver Supermoon? <\/p>\n<p>According to the Almanac, the best time to see the Beaver Supermoon will be on the evenings of Tuesday, November 4, and Wednesday, November 5. The supermoon is set to reach peak illumination at 7:19 am CST on Wednesday, November 5, but at the time it will be beneath the horizon, so the Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are your best bet!<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21265\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/FotoJet-2024-09-16T150342.211-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Image shows the harvest moon with an amber tint partially obscured in partial lunar eclipse against backdrop of dark night.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"  \/>Photo via Shutterstock Where to see the Beaver Supermoon in Houston? <\/p>\n<p>With all cosmic phenomenon, the best place to watch the stars would be somewhere away from city lights. That said, you can find stellar angles of the Beaver Supermoon in Houston as one of its spacious parks including the following: Buffalo Bayou Park, Brazos Bend State Park, Eleanor Tinsley Park, and Terry Hershey Park.<\/p>\n<p>The Beaver Supermoon is the second of three supermoons to grace our skies this year. The final will be the Cold Moon supermoon on December 4, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo via Shutterstock Save Now that we\u2019re into November, we\u2019re all eagerly awaiting the bright holiday lighting displays&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2387,56,58,57],"class_list":["post-33259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-autumn","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
