Look for the beaver moon Wednesday night

November's full moon, also known as the beaver moon, will be visible on Wednesday night, and this full moon is also a supermoon.

The moon reached peak illumination around 7:19 a.m. Central Time on Wednesday morning, and it will still be visible as a full moon tonight.

According to NASA, this year's beaver moon will also be a supermoon, meaning the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, known as perigee, making it appear larger and brighter than usual.

NASA says supermoons can appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than when the moon is at its furthest point, called apogee.

While it's hard to notice this size difference with just our eyes, supermoons are still brighter than the moon on an average night.

The name "beaver moon" comes from the busy beavers preparing for winter by making dams at this time of year. Historically, beavers were also captured and harvested for their pelts around this time during the fur trade.

November's full moon is also fittingly known as the frost or freeze moon.

Skies will be clear for tonight's supermoon, but remember to bring a coat!

The next full moon, known as the cold moon, will occur on December 4th and will also be a supermoon.
