The upcoming Beaver supermoon will be 14 percent bigger and brighter than a typical moon, peaking at 4:29pm ET on November 15, and best viewed on Friday.
The moon will be unusually close to Earth at just 226,000 miles, its next similar proximity not occurring until November 25, 2034.
Historically, the November moon is called the Beaver Moon as this was the time to set beaver traps for winter furs, reflecting Native American traditions.
The term 'supermoon' refers to a full or new moon occurring within 90 percent of its closest approach to Earth, increasing its visibility.
