Everyone will be looking at a Full Beaver this Bonfire Night

On Bonfire Night, November 5, a "Full Beaver Moon" will be visible, which is also the most dramatic supermoon of the year. A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon being at its closest approach to Earth in its orbit. The moon's orbit is elliptical, meaning its distance from Earth varies. The November moon is named the Beaver Moon, possibly because beavers are busy building their dams at this time of year. This year's Beaver Supermoon will be the closest it has been to Earth since February 2019. At its closest point, the moon will appear about 7% larger and 15% brighter than average.
