“Skywatchers can see the next full moon, the Beaver Moon, on November 15, starting at 4:29 p.m. EST. This moon is extra special as it’s the final supermoon of 2024, meaning the moon will appear bigger and brighter than usual,” noted NASA.

More a popular term than a scientific one, a supermoon occurs when a full lunar phase syncs up with an especially close swing around Earth. This usually happens only three or four times a year and consecutively, given the moon’s constantly shifting, oval-shaped orbit.

Stargazers can catch the full beaver moon on Friday afternoon and the final supermoon of the year will appear bigger and brighter than usual. NASA says that the moon will reach peak illumination starting at 4:29 p.

The supermoon rises after the peak of the Taurid meteor shower and before the Leonids are most active. RELATED: How much bigger i

The supermoon rises after the peak of the Taurid meteor shower and before the Leonids are most active. Last month’s supermoon was 2,800 miles (4,500 kilometers) closer, making it the year's closest. The series started in August.

The lunar phase calendar year is wrapping up with November’s sky closing out the year’s last supermoon, part of a series that began in August. Supermoons in the lunar calendar are slightly closer to Earth than the average full moon,
