Sky gazers are about to be treated to a celestial event that hasn't been observed in almost 70 years and won't come again for many years to come.

The "record-breaking" supermoon slated for Monday, Nov. 14, known as the Beaver Moon or Frost Moon, will be exceptionally large and bring with it higher than normal tides. 

Appearing up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than an average full moon, as noted by sciencealert.com, November's supermoon could very well be a once-in-a-lifetime event for many. 

"The full moon of Nov. 14 is not only the closest full moon of 2016 but also the closest full moon to date in the 21st century," says NASA. The full moon won’t come this close to Earth again until Nov. 25, 2034."

According to weather.com meteorologist Linda Lam, much of the South, Plains and Southwest will easily be able to view the supermoon Monday night with mainly clear skies expected. However, an area of low pressure may bring some cloud cover and showers to parts of the mid-Atlantic coast and the Northeast may see a few clouds as well.

Another disturbance will likely bring an increase in cloud cover to portions of the Midwest, but the moon should be visible at times, Lam notes. The Pacific Northwest is another area that the view of the moon may be obscured due to a low-pressure system moving into the region, bringing clouds, rain and some higher elevation snow.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, the Beaver Moon gets its name because it came at the time of year when the early colonists and the Algonquin tribes set their beaver traps before the swamps froze. This would ensure they had a good supply of warm winter furs.
