No. This is not made up. We’re heading into that time
of year with tons of weather lore attached.
This month's moon,
which is also known as the Frost moon or the Hunter's moon, will be full on
Nov. 4th and appear bigger and brighter than usual, but miss being a supermoon by just one day.
To be designated a supermoon, the moon must be
full on the day it is at its perigee, or closest distance to the Earth,
according to Space.com. This month, the moon will reach its perigee on Friday,
missing the supermoon classification by just a day. But since it is still very
close to Earth, it will appear bigger and brighter than usual. Only December's
supermoon will be bigger.
According to
the Farmer's Almanac, the Beaver
moon gets its name because
it came at the time of year when the early colonists and the Algonquin tribes
set their beaver traps before the swamps froze. This would ensure they had a
good supply of warm winter furs.
