Catch the Year's Final Supermoon This Weekend
TL;DR
Skygazers in the U.S. have a final opportunity to view a supermoon this year, as November's Beaver Moon will appear larger and brighter than usual. This supermoon, the fourth consecutive since August, will be visible for nearly three days starting Thursday morning. A supermoon occurs when the moon is full and at its closest point to Earth, affecting tides. The next supermoon won't be visible until October 2025. Observers are encouraged to use a moon map to identify features like the Tycho crater.
