Tonight's full moon is going to be the closest, biggest, and brightest of 2025.
Known as the Beaver Moon, this full moon rises just 221,818 miles (356,980 kilometers) from Earth - close enough to qualify as a supermoon.
Because it's at perigee, the point in its orbit where it comes closest to Earth, the moon looks unusually large and luminous in the sky. If you step outside just after sunset, you'll likely notice it looks bigger than usual - and it is.
The Beaver Moon gets its name from traditional North American sources, marking the season when beavers prepare for winter and trappers set their last lines before the freeze. It's long been a symbol of seasonal change and survival.
Supermoons can look up to 14% larger and nearly 30% brighter than a typical full moon, especially when low on the horizon. That's also when the "moon illusion" kicks in, making the moon appear enormous compared to objects on the ground.
It's the third and final supermoon of 2025. And the conditions tonight - cold, crisp autumn air and early sunset - make for perfect viewing. Clouds permitting.
…the myth, the legend.

WARNING: This is a brief video of two people dying. The wife thought she was taking a picture of the event, but it was actually a video.
I have been in these intimate, private circumstances many times before with my own brain.
Nothin’ is better than round, uniform tins for hauling certain things. I’m really fond of them because they stack neatly and can save quite a bit on space. I get them off Amazon in two different sizes at a low price - a small, snuff-size can, and a larger can.
The only real drawback about them is that they can get beat up fairly easily, because they’re made out of really light aluminum. But for their low cost, I reckon it’s no big deal, since they’re easy to replace.
