TL;DR

The last supermoon of 2024 will be visible in Connecticut on Friday, with moonrise at 4:05 p.m., weather permitting. Known as the beaver moon, this supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth, appearing larger and brighter. Although not the brightest supermoon of the year, it will still be a spectacular sight. The full moon may affect visibility of the Leonid meteor shower, which peaks this weekend and is known for its fireballs and earth-grazers.
