Full Beaver Moon With a Bonus

This month’s full Moon, also called the Beaver Moon, reaches its peak in the early morning of
November, 19 at 2:59 AM CST.

Bonus - it includes a near-total lunar eclipse.

Starting at about midnight, our time here in Wisconsin, the Earth’s shadow will begin to slowly
creep across the Moon’s surface, reaching peak eclipse around 3 AM.  At this point, the Moon
will take on an eerie reddish color, with about 97% of its surface fully eclipsed by Earth’s
shadow.

Full moons often take their names from the traditions of native Americans and European
settlers.  November is the time of year that beavers retire to their lodges for the duration of
winter.  As a consequence of their pelts being prime this was also the time of year that fur
traders trapped beavers.

The Lakota people recognized this as the Deer Rutting Moon, Cree and Assiniboine called this the Frost Moon and with the spawning of this fish species in November the Algonquin called this the Whitefish Moon.

In the meantime I have fallen victim to a supply chain issue.  And until I receive a replacement
baffle for the wood-burner we're going to refer to this moon as the Chilly House Moon. 

The struggle is real....
