Beaver Moon 2024: See the final 'supermoon' of the year rise next to the 'Seven Sisters'

What is the Beaver Moon?

The Beaver Moon is the name given to the full moon that occurs in November. The name comes from the fact that beavers are typically very active in November, as they are preparing for winter and storing up food. The Beaver Moon is also sometimes called the Frosty Moon or the Snow Moon, as it often brings the first snowfall of the season.

The Beaver Moon is a supermoon, which means that it is a full moon that is closer to Earth than usual. This makes the moon appear larger and brighter than normal. The Beaver Moon will be the last supermoon of 2024, and it will be visible on the night of November 27th.

When and where can you see the Beaver Moon?

The Beaver Moon will rise on the evening of November 27th, and it will be visible all night long. The best time to see the moon is just after sunset, when it is low in the sky and appears larger. The Beaver Moon will be visible from anywhere in the world, but it will be most visible in the Northern Hemisphere.

In addition to the Beaver Moon, there will also be a meteor shower visible on the night of November 27th. The Leonid meteor shower is caused by the Earth passing through the debris trail of the Tempel-Tuttle comet. The Leonid meteor shower is one of the most active meteor showers of the year, and it can produce up to 15 meteors per hour. The meteor shower will be visible from anywhere in the world, but it will be most visible in the Northern Hemisphere.

If you are planning to watch the Beaver Moon or the Leonid meteor shower, be sure to find a location with dark skies and clear weather. You may also want to bring a blanket or chair to sit on, as you may be staying outside for several hours.
