Skywatchers are in for a treat as you will be able to see the Big Beaver Supermoon over Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota.

This lunar event is set to begin on November 15, 2024, at 3:29 p.m. Central Time.

What makes this upcoming full Moon particularly special is that it is the final Supermoon of 2024.

A Supermoon occurs when the full Moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, causing it to appear larger and brighter than a typical full Moon.

During a Supermoon, the Moon can appear up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a regular full Moon.

This visual effect is created by the Moon's proximity to our planet, making it a captivating sight for stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts alike.

The Beaver Moon, named for the time of year when beavers are actively preparing for winter, is the last of the four Supermoons in 2024.
