Beaver Moon 2024: See the last ‘supermoon’ of the year rise next to the ‘Seven Sisters’

The fourth and final ‘supermoon’ of 2024 will be 100% illuminated on Friday, November 15 – but the best time to see it from North America will be when it rises in the east on November 16.

November full moon is commonly referred to as the Beaver Moon, because of the beavers that typically build their winter dams in the Northeastern U.S. this time of year, according to timeanddate.com. It is also called the Frost Moon and the Snow Moon in North America because the continent is on the brink of winter and the colder temperatures that come with it. The Anishinaabeg people call the August moon “Baashkaakodin Giizis,” which means the “Ice Moon,” according to the Center for Native American Studies.
