Beaver Moon Shines Over Redding, California
On Friday morning, Redding, California, showcased the Beaver Moon. This full moon was visible from the Haslerud Injury Law Skycam.
This was the year’s fourth and last supermoon. It appeared larger and brighter than usual. On Thursday, the moon came within about 225,000 miles of Earth. It reached its full phase on Friday.
The moon glowed brightly for about an hour before it turned amber. It appeared to sink behind Shasta Bally just before sunrise.
November’s full moon is known as a supermoon because it is closer to Earth during its orbit, according to NASA. The Old Farmer’s Almanac has a tradition of naming moons. The November moon got its name as animals prepare for winter by digging into their shelters.
The Beaver Moon peaked on Friday, November 15, at 1:28 p.m. local time. This supermoon was the largest of the year.
