November Vollmond: Supermond Im Himmel
November's full moon, also known as the Beaver Moon, is a special one this year! It's not just any full moon, it's a supermoon, which means it'll appear bigger and brighter than usual. Get ready to witness this celestial spectacle, folks!
What Makes It Super?
A supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit. This happens because the moon's orbit isn't perfectly circular, but rather elliptical. When it's closest to Earth, it appears larger and brighter in the sky.
Think of it like this: You're holding a coin at arm's length. It looks small, right? Now hold that same coin closer to your face. It looks bigger, right? That's basically what happens with a supermoon.
When Can I See It?
This year, the Beaver Supermoon will be visible on the night of November 8th and into the early morning of November 9th. Grab your friends, a blanket, and a warm beverage, and find a spot with a clear view of the sky.
Why Beaver Moon?
You might be wondering why it's called the Beaver Moon. Well, it's named after the time when beavers are busy preparing for winter by building their dams. The Native Americans tracked the seasons and gave each full moon a name based on nature.
So, Get Ready!
November's supermoon is going to be an awesome sight. Grab your camera, your binoculars, and your curiosity! The night sky is calling!
