The Beaver Moon Eclipse

Yes, we have another Moon eclipse to watch on November 29/30 –in the early morning hours of Monday (ET time).

Space.com gives details about how to pick the best observation conditions: “The moon will take 4 hours and 21 minutes to glide across the pale outer fringe (penumbra) of Earth’s shadow, never reaching the shadow’s dark umbra. However, penumbral lunar eclipses are rather subtle events which are usually difficult for most people to detect unless at least 70% of the moon’s diameter is immersed within it.” Which is the case this time. So, worth going for it.

If you are not on the right side of the planet, however, pack your stuff anyway. Here is what you can expect for the next coming eclipses –and there’s plenty: get ready!
