Last supermoon of 2024 wows skywatchers around the world with Full Beaver Moon (photos)

Beaver Full Moon, the last supermoon of the year is seen setting behind the birds perched on a wire in the early morning hours as some birds are flying in the sky on November 16, 2024 in Secaucus, New Jersey.

The final supermoon of 2024, the Beaver Moon of November, thrilled skywatchers around the world as it ushered in the weekend with a stunning night sky sight.

November's full moon rose on Friday (Nov. 15) while the moon was slightly closer to Earth in its orbit, making it what's known as a supermoon. These full moons can appear slightly larger in the night sky due to the moon's proximity to Earth during the full phase. November's Beaver Moon was the last of four consecutive supermoons this year, a series that began with August's Sturgeon supermoon.
