The next supermoon — which appears larger and brighter than a regular full moon due to its proximity to Earth — will not be visible for nearly a year.

The last supermoon of 2024, also known as the beaver moon, will peak at its biggest and brightest around 4:29 p.m. Eastern time Friday.

A supermoon occurs whenever a full moon coincides with the moon approaching its closest distance to the Earth—a point, known as perigee, that’s about 226,000 miles away—during its 27-day orbit, though NASA does not recognize it as an official astronomical term.
