The fourth and final “supermoon” of 2024 will be 100% illuminated on Friday, Nov. 15 — but the best time to see it from North America will be as it rises in the east on Nov. 16.
November’s full moon is typically called the Beaver Moon for the beavers that typically build their winter dams this time of year in the northeastern U.S., according to timeanddate.com. It’s also called the Frost Moon and the Snow Moon in North America because the continent is on the verge of winter and the colder temperatures that come with it. The Anishinaabeg people call the August moon “Baashkaakodin Giizis,” which means the “Freezing Moon,” according to the Center for Native American Studies.
