"November's Beaver Moon: A Bright and Final Full Moon of 2023"

November's full moon, known as the beaver moon, will reach its peak on Monday at 4:16 a.m. ET. The moon's appearance varies due to libration, and it will be visible to the naked eye for about a day before and after its full phase. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is creating a 3D map of the moon's surface, and the Artemis II mission plans to send astronauts on a trip around the moon in late 2024. The beaver moon's name is a nod to the animal's behavior during this time of year, and various indigenous cultures have their own names for this lunar event.
