The exact moment of full moon is 12:39 a.m. EST on Friday, Nov. 23 and 9:39 p.m. PST on Thursday, Nov. 22. At that moment, the moon will be 100% illuminated by the sun, something that isn't always visible from the U.S. However, looking at the Beaver Moon at the precise time is not always easy. If the night sky is clear, it will be just too bright to look at.
How to observe the Beaver Moon
At dusk on Nov. 22, position yourself somewhere with a good view of the eastern horizon and, if it's clear, you will see a pale orange moon appear. As it rises it will gradually increase in brightness and turn yellowish. As it's just rising, it can look huge, especially if you see it between two buildings. It's an illusion. The human brain usually sees the moon as larger when it's positioned lower down in the sky.

Once dated a girl name “Beaver”. Never saw a “Beaver Moon” but she was the poster girl for “Twin Peaks”.
She really was cute!

You're right! That's a good point!
The furry ones, on the other hand, are soft and cuddly...
