Don’t Miss the Beaver Moon Lighting Up Fort Worth’s Sky This Week

November’s full moon carries a name rooted in nature and preparation. Known as the Beaver Moon, it marked the time when beavers built their dens for winter and hunters set their traps before the freeze. It’s a lunar cue for slowing down, settling in and taking care of what sustains us.

That rhythm feels familiar. As the light shifts and the air cools, this month’s full moon invites us to pause and look up. The Beaver Super Moon will shine brighter and closer than usual, turning the night sky into something worth gathering for.

Stargazing Under the Beaver Moon

Thursday, November 6 | 7 PM
Free and open to the public

In partnership with the Fort Worth Astronomical Society, Keith House welcomes you for a community night beneath the stars. The evening begins with the sunset viewing of James Turrell’s Come to Good, where the light sequence blends art, color and calm. Then, step outside for a Star Party featuring telescope views of the Beaver Moon, guided sky tours and insights from local astronomy enthusiasts.

Bring a blanket, a friend and your curiosity. Together, we’ll rediscover the wonder that lives above us and the stillness that lives within us.

Why It Matters

The Beaver Moon reminds us that preparation and reflection can coexist. It’s nature’s way of telling us to rest while staying ready and to look inward while remaining connected to the world around us. That balance of art, science and spirit is at the heart of everything we do.

Settle in. Let the experience do the work.
