November's full moon is also known as the Micro Beaver Moon. The name refers to the historic beaver trapping season among some Indigenous people in North America, as well as the moon's "micro" appearance, as the moon will be at apogee, or the farthest away from Earth. Micromoons look about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than supermoons, which occur at perigee, or when a full moon is closest to Earth, Live Science previously reported.
The peak of the partial lunar eclipse will be visible from North America and large parts of South America, Polynesia, eastern Australia and northeastern Asia.
The map shows where the partial lunar eclipse will be visible. The earlier parts of the eclipse will be visible farther east. The NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio has an image.
Skywatchers will be able to time their eclipse-viewing escapades on Friday. As the moon crosses into Earth's dark shadow, it will look like a bite was taken out of it. The moon will turn a dull burgundy when it is in the umbra. The sun's rays still travel around our planet even though Earth is blocking sunlight from reaching the moon. The longer wavelength of red and orange can be seen through the filters of the Earth's atmosphere. The moon brick is temporarily turned red by these reddish wavelengths.
