Beaver Supermoon to occur on November 24, 2026

The Beaver Supermoon, a celestial event where the full moon coincides with its perigee, is scheduled for November 24, 2026. This phenomenon will make the moon appear approximately 6.5 percent larger and 13.5 percent brighter than an average full moon. The event is expected to be visible from November 23 to 25.

According to NASA and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the moon will reach its full illumination phase on November 24. This event marks the first in a series of three consecutive supermoons spanning from November 2026 through January 2027. Experts from the National Institute of Physics, Optics, and Electronics (INAOE) suggest that telescopes are not required for observation, though viewers should seek locations away from urban light pollution and with low cloud cover.

The name “Beaver Moon” originates from Native American traditions, referring to the time of year when beavers were active in building dams and preparing for winter. In Greece, the full moon is expected to peak on November 24, though it may appear with orange or reddish hues when near the horizon.
