Benbrook residents are in for a celestial treat as the largest and brightest full moon of 2025 lights up the night sky on Wednesday, November 5. Known as the Beaver Supermoon, this lunar event promises one of the most dazzling views of the year.
A Supermoon occurs when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth in orbit, making it appear noticeably larger and brighter. For November, this full moon carries the traditional name “Beaver Moon,” a nod to early Native American and colonial times when trappers prepared for winter by setting beaver traps before the waters froze.
To catch the best view, head outside just after sunset and look toward the eastern horizon. The Moon will appear low and glowing orange before climbing higher and shining with full brilliance. Whether you’re a stargazer, photographer, or someone who simply enjoys a quiet moment under the night sky, this Supermoon is worth stepping outside for.
Grab your camera, bundle up, and take in one of nature’s brightest shows of the year—right here in Benbrook. For more on upcoming celestial events, visit timeanddate.com/astronomy.
