Here’s the November full moon through some clouds very early today. It was slightly (but not noticeably) fuller the two days before, when overcast prevented me from photographing it.
Native Americans and early Colonists apparently called it the beaver moon. That’s because it rises when it’s time to trap beavers before stream and pond ice make it too difficult to do so. On Thanksgiving, the moon will be a very thin, waning (getting thinner/losing illumination) crescent moon. (Image taken in Brooklin, Maine, on November 17, 2024.)
