The full moon of November, known as the "beaver moon," will be illuminating the night sky this week.
The next full moon of 2019 — nicknamed the " beaver moon " — will reach its peak Tuesday morning, Nov. 12. It is the second to last full moon on the 2019 lunar calendar and it happens to arrive when the annual Taurid meteor shower will be at its best.
Although the bright light of the full moon will make it difficult for sky watchers to see the shooting stars of this normally impressive meteor shower, all hope isn't lost, according to astronomy experts from Space.com .

NASA opens untouched Apollo moon rock sample sealed for more than 40 years
The pristine sample of rock and regolith was opened on Tuesday at the Johnson Space Center in Houston as part of NASA's Apollo Next-Generation Sample Analysis initiative (ANGSA), which is using advanced technology that was not yet available when the samples originally returned to Earth.

"I grew up on the stories of Apollo, they inspired me to pursue a career in space and now I have an opportunity to contribute to the studies that are enabling the next missions to the Moon," said Charis Krysher, a lunar sample processor who will be opening one of the samples. "To be the one to open a sample that hasn't been opened since it was collected on the moon is such an honor and heavy responsibility, we're touching history."

The Freshwater Fishing Forecast for the second week of November gives anglers the full moon phase and a typical fall weather forecast. All fishing factors considered, two high pressure systems will enter the state this week, one today and another on Wednesday, which will cause fish to move up into shoreline feeding areas.
The full moon occurs Tuesday night, but significant cloud-cover is predicted Tuesday and Wednesday. However Monday night will have very little clouds, so for nighttime full moon fishermen, this will be the best night of this full moon phase.

For the US, it starts with a rare Transit of Mercury across the sun, something that will be witnessed in Europe either side of lunchtime.
However, there's something else going on Monday that's worth your attention, and that's a beautiful moonrise. Given clear skies above the eastern horizon, dusk will see a bright full moon—called variously the Beaver Moon, Frosty Moon or Long Nights Moon—grace the early evening skies.

What's behind the mystery and history of the moon?
Throughout history, the moon has been a topic of wonder, allure and excitement. People have used the moon and its features to explain the unexplainable.
Today, public servants such as policemen, firemen, teachers, doctors and even animal control officials swear there is an increase in accidents, crime and other mayhem each full moon. This belief gives credence to the term "lunatic," derived from the Latin root "luna."
Many theories try to explain the origin of the moon. One relatively popular and well supported theory is the Giant Impact Hypothesis. It theorizes that 4.5 billion years ago, during the formation stages of the solar system, two major bodies collided, resulting in a major release of both matter and energy.

If you think the moon is an impediment to meteor-watching | Today's Image | EarthSky
The moon is big and bright nearly all night now. It’ll turn full on Tuesday, just as the North Taurid meteor shower reaches a peak. The moon is a problem for meteor-watching, but this owl … a bigger problem.

Veteran meteor observer Eliot Herman has contributed many wonderful photos to EarthSky! Here’s one that didn’t come out as he’d planned, though. It’s an owl (“looks like a horned owl from the stripes,” he commented) perched on his automatic, all-sky camera. He wrote:
Your 2019 Beaver Moon Horoscope Is Here & Things Are Strange
When a full moon rises through the night sky, you know something major is about to go down. This is when the moon is at its most potent and powerful. Marking a moment of culmination, revelation, and reward, the full moon always leaves you feeling different than you felt before. You may be confronted with a deeper truth, encouraging you to close a chapter and embark down a new path.
Although it would be nice if your feelings on this full moon made sense, that's rarely ever the case. As it forms an opposition with Mercury retrograde , there's a scatterbrained energy surrounding this full moon that could lead to confusion and missed connections. There is also a pull to the past, pushing you to revisit relationships and situations you've never truly closed the door on.
