Aippaisi Pournami 2024 - Beaver Moon ! ? !!

Moon has enamoured mankind since centuries !  - Friday, Nov 15, 2024 was  Pournami, full moon. To us it is Pournami and Amavasai – to the Western world the phases of moon are far more elaborate.  Today is Full moon and it is described as last super moon of 2024.

 

Here is something collated from the Western media on the day’s full moon. The supermoons that have lit up the sky this year have been pretty spectacular, to say the least—from the Sturgeon Moon in August to the Hunter Moon in October.  Over there, the  names of the monthly full moons have connections to early Native American, Colonial American, and European folklore.  

The Beaver Moon received its name because beavers begin building their winter dams during this time of year to prepare for the cold season ahead. Because beavers are primarily nocturnal they use the light from the full moon to work on their shelters, according to Time and Date. Another common name for the Beaver Moon is the Digging Moon, which refers to animals searching for nuts and foliage and bears digging their dens for the winter. It's also sometimes referred to as the Deer Rutting Moon, as deer begin seeking mates during this time of year, per The Old Farmer's Almanac.  

The fourth and final supermoon of the year, the Beaver Moon, reached  peak illumination on Friday, November 15, and appeared  bigger and brighter than normal, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.  It was called Beaver Moon  - because this   is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long winter ahead. During the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts.  

The spin-time of the Moon on its axis is identical to the time it takes the Moon to revolve around Earth, which is why the Moon always keeps almost precisely the same face toward us.  For the simplest weight reduction techniques, go to Moon – when you land there, for sure you would weigh  less !!  to know how much – just  ust multiply your weight (it doesn’t matter if it’s in pounds or kilograms) by 0.165. You’d weigh about 80% less!  

Being Pournami, Sri Parthasarathi Perumal had siriya mada veethi purappadu at Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam and here are some photos of the purappadu.
