And the November lunar cycle will orbit closer to the Earth than it has in decades, making the moon look enormous and luminous hanging in the night sky.
The Hunter's Moon peaked on Sunday, a month after the Harvest Moon appeared in the afternoon sky with an orange, red hue.
November's supermoon is referred to as the Beaver Moon. It was named during colony-era America as a reminder to set beaver traps for winter furs, according to the Famer's Almanac. It has also been called the Frost Moon....
