The full moon this week will be a spectacular Beaver Supermoon—the last in a series of four supermoons this year. Here's how to catch a glimpse.

November will also see meteors pass through the night skies. The Leonids meteor shower will peak Nov. 17 and Nov. 18, with about 10-15 meteors per hour after midnight.

Though officially full on Friday, November 15, at 4:29 p.m. EST, the moon will also look plenty full and bright all night both Thursday and Saturday.

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.

A supermoon occurs whenever a full moon coincides with the moon approaching its closest distance to the Earth—a point, known as perigee, that’s about 226,000 miles away—during its 27-day orbit, though NASA does not recognize it as an official astronomical term.

November has the last supermoon of 2024 and the last one for 11 months. Here's what it's called and how to see it this week.
