Get ready for a spectacular view of the night sky. The last supermoon of the year will appear in Canada on Friday, November 15. A supermoon, also known as a beaver moon, occurs when the moon is closest to Earth. During this time the moon will appear brighter and closer than usual. Many people, including sky watchers, are eagerly waiting to witness this beautiful scene. There are four super moon phenomena in the sky this year. We have already witnessed three of these.
Space.com says the Beaver Moon will appear in Canada's skies on November 15 at 4:28 p.m. The Beaver Moon can be seen clearly in clear skies. Toronto and Montreal will have clear skies, according to Environment Canada. So the Super Moon can be clearly seen here. But it will be cloudy in Vancouver. Cloudy skies are forecast for some areas in Calgary and Edmonton.
Before this, there was also supermoon phenomenon in August, September and October. Supermoons are known as the Sturgeon Moon in August, the Harvest Moon in September and the Hunter's Moon in October. A supermoon appears 14 percent larger than a normal moon. Along with the Super Moon, the Pleiades stars known as the 'Seven Sisters' may also be seen regularly. This super moon is also known as Frost Moon and Snow Moon.
