Skywatchers were treated to a celestial spectacle this past weekend as November’s full moon, known as the Beaver Moon, illuminated the night sky. This marked the last supermoon of 2024.
A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. The Beaver Moon, named for the time of year when beavers prepare for winter, showcased this phenomenon with its golden glow casting light on clear autumn evenings.
Across the region, photographers and stargazers alike gathered to capture the sight. Among them was Kristian Gonyea, who shot this striking photo of the supermoon, perfectly framed against the backdrop of the Atlantic City skyline.
