Astronomical events often attract the attention of many readers (and our team too). That’s why there’s a phenomenon taking place tonight, Wednesday (November 5), that might interest you: the arrival of the penultimate Supermoon of the year.
After the unexpected meteor that crossed Portugal and Spain, now it’s the Moon’s turn to shine (or not). The problem? The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere’s weather conditions point to showers and cloudy skies.
Although the forecast may make it difficult to see the lunar satellite, it’s worth trying to look up at the firmament and notice its brilliance. This is not just any moon, but the November Full Moon, also known as the Beaver Moon . And this year it coincides with the penultimate supermoon of 2025.
The Beaver Moon
The November Full Moon, known as the Beaver Moon, owes its name to Native American traditions.
In this case, the name is a clear reference to the time of year when beavers intensify the construction of their winter refuges.
In case you didn’t manage to admire the penultimate Supermoon of the year, make a note in your diary: the next (and last) one will take place on December 5th.
