The so-called Beaver Moon will illuminate the skies in Portugal tonight, 5 November.

If you are passionate about astronomy or simply want to contemplate the sky with more intensity,

The Beaver Moon originates from the traditions of Native American people, who gave it this name because it coincides with the time when beavers build their dams to protect themselves from the winter cold.

It was also the ideal time for hunters to collect the thickest hides of these animals, crucial for coping with the low temperatures, according to idealista.

In Europe, the November super moon is known as the Frost Moon or Ice Moon, and in the southern hemisphere, it is called the Flower Moon or Corn Moon, as it coincides with spring and the harvest season.

In Portugal, you can observe the super moon on the night of November 5th, right after sunset. Although the peak of the full moon occurs at 1:19 PM (Portugal time), the best time to see it will be when it appears on the horizon, already illuminated and larger than usual.
