How and when to view tonight’s gorgeous ‘Beaver Moon’

Mike Wehner 46 mins ago

This year has been packed with plenty of sights for skywatchers to enjoy, including the epic total solar eclipse from back in August, but there’s still a few more treats left in 2017’s night skies. The next celestial happening takes place tonight, Friday, November 3rd, and into the morning of Saturday, November 4th. It’s called the Beaver Moon, and here’s what you need to know to have the best chance of spotting it.

The Beaver Moon is, like the Harvest Moon before it, a full moon event with a bit of lore to go along with it. If you happen to be out and about late tonight and into tomorrow morning — specifically at around 1:23am EST — the moon will be particularly bright and completely bathed in sunlight.

The full moon isn’t a “supermoon” this time around, like it was in early November of 2016, but it will still be a pretty neat sight, as all full moons are. That will be especially true because the moon should appear larger than most full moons so far this year, and will be the second largest full moon in 2017.

When I left work tonight, I saw the moon rising through some tree tops and partially shrouded in wispy clouds. As it was right after sunset, the moon, which looked pretty big, and the clouds, had an orange glow to them. Very spooky and very beautiful. I should have taken a picture.

We have a weather system moving in. Won't be able to see the moon. Snow for tomorrow. Probably won't amount to much and then going cold with lows around 15, but hey, it is November.

Make sure to have your safe search filters on to image search the term, unless you’re into weird Hentai.

   So now that we Men have had the Luxury of the Beaver Moon, is the Moon tonight, smaller and less radiant called the Bitch Moon?

Here is the list.

January: Old Moon, Moon After Yule
February: Snow Moon, Hunger Moon, Wolf Moon
March: Sap Moon, Crow Moon, Lenten Moon
April: Grass Moon, Egg Moon, Pink Moon
May: Flower Moon, Planting Moon, Milk Moon
June: Rose Moon, Flower Moon, Strawberry Moon
July: Thunder Moon, Hay Moon
August: Green Corn Moon, Grain Moon
September: Fruit Moon, Harvest Moon
October: Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon
November: Hunter’s Moon, Frosty Moon, or Beaver Moon
December: Moon Before Yule, or Long Night Moon

Looks like that is a yes, @corbe.  Two things to look for. 1. The exponential overnight growth of facial hair. 2. The moon's gravitational pull has returned her arms to a locked and loaded position.

And a gentle reminder.

All the ladies participating in No Shave November will have an Ecember to remember.

@corbe

Actually, I'd be okay with that.

My dad worked with a guy who used to say, "Well, the moon's full---that old bitch will be crazy tonight."
