Sky gazers across the world are bracing themselves for the final lunar eclipse of the year which is just two days away. It will be a penumbral full moon eclipse where the moon will be shaded by the Earth’s shadow for a few hours. The Penumbral lunar eclipse in November is also known as the Beaver Moon in North America as the beaver trapping season begins around this month. A Penumbral lunar eclipse can be difficult to observe if you are not a seasoned skywatcher. The November full moon will immerse deep into the penumbra and it will cover about 82.9% of the lunar disk. Here's how to watch the next full moon from your region.
How to watch the Beaver full moon?
The Penumbral eclipse will be visible in various parts of Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Australia and a few other locations if the weather conditions are favourable. The event won't be sighted in India as the moon will be below the horizon. However, if you are still keen to catch the phenomenon, you can live stream the event.
According to timeanddate, the penumbral eclipse will begin on November 30 at 07:32 UTC and end on November 30 at 11:53 UTC. The penumbral will reach its maximum eclipse on November 30 at 09:42 UTC.
