The weekend will kick off with the 'Super Beaver Moon,' the first of three astronomy events over the course of just a few nights.
Not only will there be a supermoon, but there will also be other astronomy events, including the Leonid meteor shower and the alignment of Jupiter and Mars in the span of a few nights.
What is a supermoon?
As the moon orbits the Earth, it reaches points where it is closer to the planet, known as perigee, and points where it is farther away, known as apogee. When a full moon occurs near perigee, it glows a little brighter and appears a sliver larger in the night sky.
Supermoons come in groups of three or four. This week's supermoon will be the last of the fourth and final of the year.
Why is it referred to as the Super Beaver Moon?
The full moon in November is often referred to as the Beaver Moon because it is the time when beavers in North America go back to their lodges before winter arrives, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac
Those who miss this supermoon will have to wait quite some time to see another - The next one will not rise until Oct. 6, 2025, according to Accuweather.
