🌕 November 5, 2025 – The Beaver Supermoon

Get ready for a breathtaking night sky! On November 5, 2025, the biggest and brightest Full Moon of the year will rise — known as the Beaver Supermoon.

This special full moon appears larger and shines more intensely because it reaches its closest point to Earth in its orbit — a phenomenon called perigee. As it climbs above the horizon, it may glow with rich orange and amber tones, creating one of the most spectacular moonrises of the year.

📍 Best time to watch: Around moonrise, just after sunset — when the Moon looks the largest near the horizon.
📸 Tip: Use trees, hills, or buildings in the foreground to capture dramatic supermoon photos.

✨ Don’t miss it — nature’s biggest lunar show of 2025!

At 73, country music legend George Strait has officially been named a 2025 Kennedy Center Honoree!
This true cowboy—authentic, grounded, and as classic as a pair of well-worn boots—is stepping into the spotlight alongside icons like Michael Crawford, Sylvester Stallone, the legendary Gloria Gaynor, and rock giants Kiss.
For more than forty years, Strait has been the embodiment of classic country. With his calm presence, signature hat, and hits like “Amarillo by Morning” and “Check Yes or No”, he’s not just the voice of a genre—he’s a symbol of genuine talent in a world often chasing fleeting trends.
From sold-out stadiums to quiet days on his South Texas ranch, George has remained true to himself—humble, unpretentious, and loyal to the music that shaped him. This Kennedy Center honor is more than a trophy; it’s a recognition of his storytelling, heart, and the cowboy ethos that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Broadway stars, disco legends, and rock royalty.
In George’s own words: “I’ve always just been a singer of simple songs.” But the fact that those songs resonate with so many is the greatest honor he could ever receive.
Now, the nation tips its hat to George Strait, placing him firmly where he’s always belonged—among the legends.
