The Harvest Moon is the Full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. About once every four Years.
When the Night of the Harvest Moon coincides with the Night of the Equinox, it's called a "Super Harvest Moon".
Often, the Harvest Moon seems to be Bigger or Brighter or more Colorful than other Full Moons. The warm Color of the Moon shortly after it rises is caused by light from the Moon passing through a greater amount of Atmospheric particles than when the moon is overhead. The Atmosphere preferentially scatters the bluish component of Moonlight, which is really reflected white light from the Sun, while allowing more of the reddish component of the Light to pass though to one's Eyes. Hence all Celestial Bodies look reddish when they're low in the Sky.
It appears larger in Size because the brain perceives a Low-hanging Moon to be Larger than one that's high in the Sky. This is known as a Moon Illusion, and it can be seen with any Full Moon. It can also be seen with Constellations.
In other Words, a Constellation viewed low in the Sky will appear Bigger than when it is high in the Sky.

Beaver Moon : is according to North American weather folklore, the first full moon which occurs in November. This full moon occurs in fall in the Northern Hemisphere. The Moon may also be called the Frost Moon or the Frosty Moon..

Two reasons are given for the coupling of the November moon with the flat-tailed aquatic animal: November is a month when many hunters used to set leghold traps for beaver, and November is a month when many beaver families are especially active in rebuilding their beaver lodges and dams. Much of the mammals' building and repair work takes place by moonlight, because the beaver is primarily nocturnal. Both explanations implicate November's position as the last full month before the coming of winter, as beaver (which do not hibernate) need to have ready access to food during the cold months, and need to grow an especially lush pelt of fur so as to be prepared. By the traditional valuation standards of the fur trade, a late-fall beaver pelt was worth more than a pelt harvested during other seasons of the year.

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby
kiss me
Fill my heart with song
and let me sing for evermore
you are all I long for
all I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fill my heart with song
let me sing for evermore
you are all I long for
all I worship and adore
In other words, please be true !!!
In other words,
In other words !!!!
I...
I love...
I love you!!!
