00:00Get ready for a jaw-dropping sight in the sky.
00:02The biggest full moon in six years is about to light up your night.
00:06It's called the beaver moon, and this week it's going super, literally.
00:10A super moon happens when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit.
00:14And this one? It's up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual.
00:18It's the largest super moon since 2019, and it's happening on bonfire night.
00:23Named after beavers who build their dams in November,
00:25this full moon reaches its peak at 1 ratio, 19 p.m. U.K. time on November 5th,
00:31but your best view will be after sunset.
00:34Look to the sky from the evening of November 4th onwards.
00:37It'll be glowing for several nights.
00:39And you won't need a telescope, just clear skies in your eyes.
00:43Bad weather might hide it in the north and west of the U.K.,
00:46but the south and east are in for a show-stopping lunar display.
00:49And if you're snapping pics, turn on night mode,
00:52keep the camera steady, and skip the flash.
00:54So don't miss this rare lunar beauty.
00:57It's your chance to witness a cosmic spectacle
00:59that won't return this big for years.
