Celestial Show: Full Moon and Leonids Meteor Shower This Weekend

This weekend offers a celestial double feature with November's Beaver Moon, the last supermoon of the year, and the Leonid meteor shower peaking on Saturday night into early Sunday. The Beaver Moon, named for the time when beavers prepare for winter, is slightly farther than October's supermoon but still offers a striking view, especially when rising. The Leonid meteor shower, typically producing 15 meteors per hour, may be less visible due to the moon's brightness, with around five meteors per hour expected. Observers are advised to face east and look halfway up the sky for the best chance to see meteors.
