On Nov. 19, a partial lunar eclipse will reward patient sky observers with a view of a subtly changing moon and is a must-see event as it's the last lunar eclipse of the year. The moon may even take on a reddish hue.
Lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow. In this case, the partial eclipse phase will last 3 hours, 28 minutes and 24 seconds, and the full eclipse for 6 hours and 1 minute, making it the longest partial eclipse in 580 years, according to Indiana's Holcomb Observatory.
At maximum eclipse, the moon's face will be 97% covered by the deepest part of the Earth's shadow and will probably turn a deep red, the observatory said. November's full moon is traditional known as the Beaver Moon, as beavers are preparing for winter, hence this month's event's Beaver Moon eclipse moniker.

lolol
I’ve seen a few Beaver Moons over the years.
Some truly spectacular, others - a 97% obscured rate was 3% too low.
Uh oh!

This thread is useless without pictures.
Ok, who has a picture of the filament bulb resembling a bent over lady pulling up her drawers.
I know, dirty mind but none the less this is what comes to mind when I think of a beaver moon…..
Tacos…I want me some tacos…

Make it simple:
0218 to 0547 EST 11/19/21
That is all you need to know.
It takes paragraphs to get to that point.
I liked Mr. O’Donnell’s take on it in post 12.
Harvest time is sickle time, the total round-up:
Phase 3: "Maximum eclipse" will be when just a final bright arc remains on the moon's lower rim, while the rest of the moon is showing a foreboding reddish glow. This ruddy coloration shining onto the moon is sunlight that has skimmed and bent through the Earth's atmosphere; the combined light of all the sunrises and sunsets that ring our world at this particular moment.

At this time, 97.4% of the moon will be immersed in the Earth's dark shadow.https://www.space.com/beaver-moon-lunar-eclipse-longest-of-century-phases

Oh look, Jacob and Esau. It's a miracle! Love, flowing like milk and honey, from dates. Joseph's Magnum Opus.
The excitement in the US begins tonight, on 11/18.
1118 -- it's the sum of the essential Jewish statement of faith, even (or especially) recited at times of extreme peril:
Deu 6.4. Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
שמע ישראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה אחד
And also famous for its "ed", witness, עד, the big ayin and big dalet. It all "ad"ds up (עד = until, 74).
At this time, 97.4% of the moon will be immersed...
It's a "Beaver" Moon. Hah, what timimg:
BUILD BACK BETTER!
Excellent, because an Hebrew beaver *is* a builder, a בּוֹנֶה • (boné)
Nice pun on Joseph's bones. Milk. It does a body good. Klein's etymology explains:
בּוֹנֶה ᴵ m.n. builder, mason. [Subst. use of the act. part. of בָּנָה (= to build); see בנה.]
בּוֹנֶה ᴵᴵ m.n. NH beaver. [Lit.: ‘builder’. See בּוֹנֶה ᴵ.]
Which brings me back to the sum of 1118 and the times of great peril; e.g. death, sudden regime changes:
"MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN"
מנא מנא תקל ופרסין
Many commentators have been uncomfortable with the riddle's unsolvable nature, and they have tried to interpret it according to the assumption that it can be solved without knowledge of the incident with the lion and the bees.
Samson's Riddle [חידת שמשון] = 1118
Samson (Shimshon, "like the sun")
"What is this dream you have dreamed?"
It concerned the Sun, the Moon, and those "11" all-stars, every man, Joseph's brothers, ALT + 11 [♂].
Apparently Joseph had to spend some time in Egypt in order to learn how to code. Makes sense!
Longest partial eclipse in 600 years.
