## Executive Summary
The Beaver Supermoon will peak on November 24 as the first supermoon since January.

## Intelligence Brief
The Beaver Supermoon is set to illuminate the skies later this month, peaking on Tuesday, November 24, according to iHeart. The Old Farmer's Almanac reported that the full moon will reach its peak illumination at 9:53 a.m. Eastern Time. The best viewing opportunities will be on the evenings of Monday, November 23, and Tuesday, November 24.


iHeart reported that this supermoon will appear up to eight percent larger and 16 percent brighter than an average full moon. It marks the first of three consecutive supermoons, with others expected in December and January. The term "supermoon" refers to a full moon that occurs near perigee, the point in the moon’s orbit when it is closest to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter.


The Beaver Moon, as it is traditionally known, is named for the time of year when beavers historically build their dams in preparation for winter. Forbes notes that this moon is the third and final full moon of fall in the Northern Hemisphere. The Astronomy website explains that the full moon occurs when Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the entire face of the Moon to be illuminated.


The Beaver Moon will be visible for about three nights, but the most impressive views are expected at moonrise, just after sunset on November 24. Futura, le média qui explore le monde stated that up to four supermoons in a row are coming, and the closest full moon of 2026 arrives right before Christmas. Meanwhile, Journal-News.com noted that the upcoming super moon has a dirty little secret: It’s not that super. The Weather Channel provided guidance on how to experience the first supermoon since January, and The South African detailed when to see it in South Africa.
