November’s full moon, otherwise known as the beaver moon, will shine bright in the sky on Friday as the last supermoon of the year.

A supermoon occurs when the moon’s full phase coincides with its perigee, its closest approach to Earth in its orbit, according to NASA, making the moon appear slightly bigger and brighter than on average.

The beaver moon — named as a nod to that animal’s hibernation and thicker coats this time of year — reached the crest of its full phase at 4:29 p.m. ET Friday.

The moon, which can appear full to the naked eye about a day before and after its peak, sets on Friday behind Penshaw Monument in Sunderland, United Kingdom.
