The Beaver Moon for 2025 peaked on November 5, 2025, and was notable as the largest full Moon of the year in several regions. It is commonly described as the November full Moon and is associated with beaver activity in Native American and early colonial traditions. Key details:

  • Peak visibility: around early morning hours of November 5, 2025 (often cited as the moment the Moon was fullest), with good viewing possible the nights of November 4–5 depending on local sunset, conditions, and latitude.
  • Common nickname origin: “Beaver Moon” has roots in Native American and colonial naming traditions, reflecting beaver trapping season in November.
  • Additional context: In 2025, this Beaver Moon was also described as a supermoon—meaning it appeared unusually large and bright because the Moon was near its closest approach to Earth in its elliptic orbit.

If you’d like, I can tailor viewing tips for your location (best times, eye- friendly viewing windows, and whether to expect a “Beaver Moon” in your time zone).
