It will be another exciting week for sky watchers as they will see the fourth and last supermoon of 2024. The moon will appear larger and brighter than usual in the night sky as it appears closer to the planet. A supermoon phenomenon occurs when a full moon reaches its closest point in its orbit, called perigee, around Earth. Here is an overview of the date and time for the last supermoon of the year.

How and when to watch the last Super Moon of 2024?

According to Farmer’s Almanacthe last supermoon of 2024 will reach its maximum illumination on Friday November 15 has 4:29 p.m. EST. This is the last of four consecutive supermoons this year. According to experts, this phenomenon is called “Beaver Moon”. Indeed, this is the time of year when beavers take refuge before the long winter after having stored enough food. Additionally, during this season, beavers were hunted for their thick skin during the North American fur trade.

Notes from the Farmer’s Almanac in another report that the Moon will be 224,853 miles (361,866 kilometers) from Earth this month. The celestial body was at its closest proximity to the planet last month during the Full Hunter Moon (222,055 miles). So November’s full Super Beaver Moon is a must-see event. Additionally, next year will see three consecutive supermoons, starting in October.

Earlier this year, astronomy enthusiasts were also able to witness a rare, multi-faceted celestial event. September’s Harvest Moon coincided with a supermoon, a blood moon, and a partial lunar eclipse. This is an exceptional observation because it is rare for all three events to occur at the same time. Now, sky watchers are set to witness another exciting celestial event before the end of this year. With the date and time of the last Super Moon of 2024 being announced, it will be an exciting event to witness.
