The final supermoon of 2024 is this week. Here's when and how to see it in Oklahoma

It’s not a bird or a plane, but it is super! This Friday’s supermoon will end the consecutive supermoons we’ve experienced since August.

According to NASA, this moon will not eclipse the brightness of October's supermoon. Even though this is not the brightest supermoon of the four, this full moon will still be a spectacle.

Here’s how to see the bright moon.

Where to see the moon?

The Beaver Moon will peak at 3:28 p.m. CT on Nov. 15. During its travel across the sky, it will travel alongside the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, a star cluster in the Taurus constellation, according to Space.com.

What is a supermoon?

Coined only in 1979, a supermoon occurs when a full moon is near, or the Moon is at the closest point in its orbit around Earth.

Why is it called the Beaver Moon?

The Old Farmer’s Almanac says the Moon got its name after it was seen this is the time of the year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges after storing food stores for the winter.

What else can I see in the sky this November?

November will also see some meteors pass through the night skies.

The peak of the Taurids meteor shower will be the evenings of Nov. 8-9, with a few meteors per hour, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The Leonids meteor shower will peak on Nov. 17 and Nov. 18, with about 10-15 meteors per hour after midnight.

You'll also be able to see some planets on the night of the full moon, including Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, according to Space.com.

Mercury will be low in the southwest sky and hard to see without an unobstructed view, and Venus, which will be bright and easy to spot as the sun sets, will be above Mercury in the western sky.
