The Year’s Largest Brightest Moon Coming To New York
The next full moon over New York State will be the largest and brightest one of the year. The "Beaver Supermoon," which will appear in the sky over New York on Wednesday, November 5th, will be the largest and brightest one of the year.
What Makes This Moon Larger and Brighter?
The reason the Beaver Supermoon is the largest in the sky is due to the path the moon takes around Earth. The full moon will be the closest to Earth due to its elliptical path, making it look larger in the sky compared to other full moons. It will also seem brighter since it will be closer to Earth.
When Is The Best TIme To See The Supermoon?
The best time to see the Supermoon is along the Eastern horizon just after sunset. This will allow you to see the moon rise into the sky. You can also wait closer to midnight and check out the moon when it is at its highest point in the sky.
What Is This Supermoon Called The Beaver Supermoon?
The name comes from the Old Farmer's Almanac. It is said that due to the brightest of the supermoons, it was the perfect time to set beaver traps, so trappers started calling it the "Beaver Supermoon."
How To Take The Best Photo Of The Moon With An iPhone
If you are hoping to take a great photo of the Beaver Supermoon, the best way to do that with your iPhone is to use the video mode and zoom in on the moon as you record the moon. Then you can take a still picture from your video.
