A total lunar eclipse will take place on November 8th. The total phase will be visible from the eastern half of Russia to the western part of South America.

At 6:03 a.m., the moon becomes full. According to the U.S. Naval Observatory, the time is 1002GMT. The moon will rise at 4:52 a.m. and set at 6:42 a.m. for New York City watchers. There was a delay of about one hour.

Sometimes the full moon enters the Earth's shadow when it is on the opposite side of the planet. The moon misses the shadow most of the time because it's slightly inclined to the plane of Earth's path. There was a partial solar eclipse at the new moon.

There is a lunar eclipse in 2022, everything you need to know.

Beaver Moon total lunar eclipse

The penumbral phase of the eclipse begins at 3:02 a.m. on the east coast of the U.S. On November 8, 2022. It's hard to see the penumbra when it covers the moon because it makes it look a bit yellow or brownish, depending on the weather. 4:30 a.m. The partial phase of the eclipse begins when the Earth's shadow takes a bite out of the moon.

The sun was setting at 556 a.m. The "blood moon" effect will be visible when the moon is fully within the Earth'sumbra. The Earth's atmosphere bends the light of the sun like a lens and also scatters blue wavelength more than red ones. It is similar to the mechanism that makes the sunsets appear red on Earth and sometimes makes the sun look flatter. An astronomer on the moon would be able to see the eclipse of the sun and see a ring of red light.

At 5:59 a.m., the moon will be close to the center of theumbra. At 6:41 a.m., the edge of theumbra will be touched. Sky watchers on the East Coast will not be able to see the last part of the eclipse. The partial phase starts at 3:09 a.m. in Chicago and other Central Time Zone cities. At 5:41 a.m., the moon will begin to emerge from the umbra. The moon will be out of theumbra by moonset.

The entire umbral phase of the eclipse has to be seen further west and south. The eclipse begins in Texas at 2:02 a.m. and ends at 6:49 a.m. Observers in the city will be able to see the moon before it sets because it is further south.

The eclipse will start at 1:02 a.m. and end at 6:56 a.m. The entire eclipse will be visible further west than that.

The eclipse will start before midnight in Hawaii. The moon will be in the south at the time of the eclipse.

Beaver Full Moon and visible planets

As the penumbral eclipse begins in New York, the only planet still above the horizon will be Mars, which will be east of the moon and form a rough triangle with Betelgeuse and Aldebaran. Betelgeuse and Aldebaran are similar to Mars in that they are both reddish.

If you have a small telescope or binoculars, you can see the phenomenon of the moon and the planet Uranus as they pass in front of one another. According to In-the-sky.org, Uranus will pass behind the moon in Tokyo at 8:40 p.m. People in Japan will be able to see the planet disappear behind a blood moon when the eclipse ends. The lunar eclipse will begin about 10 minutes before the end of the partial phase in Alaska. The moon is in the sky at 5:14 a.m.

On November 8th, the moon rises at 4:52pm and the sun sets at 4:44pm in New York City. When the sky is dark, one can see the planets in the south and east. Jupiter is set at 2:34 a.m. on Nov 9. Fomalhaut is the best star in Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish, if one has a clear horizon to the south. Fomalhaut is the first star around which an exoplanet was spotted in the visible wavelength.

Beaver Moon and other November moon names

In the U.S. and Canada, the November full moon is called the "Beaver Moon", but other cultures call it something else. The OjibWE people call it Mshkawji Giizis. The Cree people referred to it as "Kaskatinowipisim" or "Freeze up Moon" October and November used to be when the Great Lakes region's freezing temperatures began.

In the Pacific Northwest, the Tlingit called the 11th full moon Cha'aaw Kungay, which means "bears hibernate."

Because of the Chinese new year occurring in February, the November full moon is in the 10th month instead of the 11th. The month of November is called Yngyu and it is when the Taoist "yang" or masculine force is strongest.

The November full moon is called the Milk Moon by the people of South Africa.
