November’s full moon is also known as Full Beaver Moon. This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, and to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. It is sometimes also referred to as the Frosty Moon, and perhaps this is a more appropriate name since it’s freezing cold outside while taking pictures of the moon.
According to an astronomer Geoff Gaherty, “The Full Moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise, the only night in the month when the moon is in the sky all night long. The rest of the month, the moon spends at least some time in the daytime sky.” Other names for this month’s moon include its Hindi name of Kartik Poornima and Sinhala (Buddhist) name Il Poya, according to Gaherty.
Tonight the moon will appear near the bright planet Jupiter, which is shining off to the moon’s right. Both objects can be found in the constellation Aries as they make their way across the night sky tonight. Source.
