Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

This weekend, sky enthusiasts can enjoy the Beaver supermoon, the last supermoon of 2024, peaking on November 15, alongside the Leonid meteor shower, which peaks on November 16-17. The supermoon will be about 224,385 miles from Earth, appearing 6.2% larger and 12.8% brighter than the average full moon. The Leonids, originating from comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, may produce about 15 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. However, the nearly full supermoon may obscure all but the brightest meteors, necessitating strategic viewing times for optimal experience.
