Karen Caddell of Meadowview Court sent these photos of the November 15th Beaver Moon. This was the last supermoon of 2024. The Beaver Moon was named after the time of year when beavers begin their hibernation. During the fur trade in North America, this was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit.
