November's full moon, known as the Beaver Moon, is the last supermoon of 2024. Here's when it peaks and why it's called the Beaver Moon.

The final supermoon of 2024, known as the Beaver Moon, will illuminate the night sky starting Friday. This “extra special” full Moon will appear brighter and larger than usual, marking the fourth and last supermoon of the year, slightly outshining the first one in August, according to NASA.

The full Moon November 2024 is known as the Beaver Moon since beavers begin to build their dams before the ground freezes. This is a time when many have to prepare for winter, and when some of the first snow falls in the northern United States and Canada happen. It’s a time when most trees and shrubs have shed their leaves.
