The moon will first contact the umbra at 2:18:41 a.m. The rest of the moon will darken to a ruddy red color - especially the moon’s northern half. EST or 09:02:56 GMT, a thin sliver of the moon’s southern rim will remain outside of the shadow, making this a partial lunar eclipse. At that time it will be passing through Earth’s round shadow, or umbra, producing the second lunar eclipse of 2021.
The moon will reach its full phase, directly opposite the sun in the western pre-dawn sky, at 3:57 a.m. The November Full Moon, traditionally known as the Beaver Moon or Frost Moon, always shines in or near the stars of Taurus and Aries.
