The Super Beaver Moon enshrouded the Pleiades cluster in a bright halo on its path across the zenith; Jupiter was nearby showing three of its Galilean moons. The final supermoon of 2024 now waits above the western horizon for the dawn, illuminating the landscape below in pale moonlight. #SuperBeaverMoon #BeaverMoon #FrostyMoon #Supermoon2024 #Supermoon #Moon #Moonlight #Pleiades #NightSky #Zenith #Perigee #Astronomy

The Super Beaver Moon has risen! The Pleiades (Messier 45) and Uranus are below the Moon as the final supermoon of 2024 begins crossing the night sky in the constellation Taurus; Jupiter and Orion are rising behind the spectacle. The Moon will eclipse the Pleiades star cluster when it reaches the zenith at approximately 0600 GMT tonight. #SuperBeaverMoon #BeaverMoon #FrostyMoon #Supermoon2024 #Supermoon #Moon #Pleiades #NightSky #Zenith #Perigee #Astronomy

A pairing of a waning gibbous Moon and Jupiter with its four Galilean moons visible tonight dances in the sky after the Harvest Supermoon. Uranus and the Pleiades (M45) in the constellation Taurus follow in the glare of our Moon that is illuminating the zenith on its way to setting in the western sky at sunrise.
