Overview
- Photographers in Dorset, the New Forest and Southampton captured striking views on November 5, with Daily Echo Camera Club members sharing images.
- The November full Moon appeared unusually large and bright because it coincided with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth.
- Sky guides indicate a repeat show tonight with the Moon alongside the Pleiades from about 6pm, reaching its highest point between midnight and 1am.
- This Beaver Moon is the second of three consecutive supermoons in late 2025, with the final Cold Moon expected on December 4.
- Royal Museums Greenwich says the “Beaver Moon” name likely stems from Native American trapping traditions or heightened beaver dam building.
