The last Supermoon of the year will peak alongside the Leonid meteor shower

November’s full moon, otherwise known as the beaver moon, will shine bright in the sky on Friday as the last supermoon of the year.

For sky-gazers observing the golden orb this weekend, the Leonid meteor shower could make for a dazzling bonus feature as it reaches its peak on Saturday night into early Sunday, according to the American Meteor Society.

The last full moon of 2024 will be the cold moon on December 15, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.

Geminids: December 12-13

Ursids: December 21-22
