Feeling pandemic-stressed, holiday-harried, as busy as a beaver? Look out your window in the wee hours Monday: There's a celestial spectacle with your name on it.
Just before sunrise, the final lunar eclipse of the year will occur as the moon passes through the outer part of Earth's shadow. And it's not just any moon – it's the full "beaver moon" shimmering above.
The November moon got its name for the time of year when beavers scurried to their shelters ahead of winter, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac . It was also the season to trap beavers for their thick pelts during the fur trade, the Almanac notes.

Every Year NASA Simulates Our View of the Moon for the Upcoming 12 Months.
There’s no real reason most of us need to know what the Moon will look like on any particular day at any particular hour next year. No reason other than intellectual curiosity, that is. So if you have a healthy supply of that, then you’ll enjoy NASA’s latest contribution to staring at the internet and wondering where the time went.
Actually, that might be a little unfair. Like almost everything NASA produces, it is instructive. This animation of the Moon throughout the year does a good job of illustrating the idea of lunar libration, and how it shows us a slightly different portion of the Moon throughout the year.

Doctor Doom Just Blew Up The Moon In Marvel's Universe
Doctor Doom just blew up the moon in the Marvel Universe. Victor Von Doom has long been considered one of Marvel's most dangerous villains . Over the years, he has turned his formidable intellect towards mastering everything from science to sorcery.

Unfortunately, it all goes terribly wrong. Doctor Doom has worked out how to reverse the expansion of the black hole, a remarkable feat that no other scientist on Earth could manage. But at the crucial second, he gets a message from Mr. Fantastic, and Reed Richards' attempt to wish Doom luck causes the scientist to doubt himself. Convinced Mr. Fantastic was actually calling to gloat ahead of a failure, Doom begins tweaking his calculations on the spot, and as a result his procedure fails.
What happens to the Moon during New Moon? | Astronomy.com
A:From Earth, we only ever see one side of the Moon. This is because the time it takes the Moon to rotate around its own axis happens to be the same amount of time it takes for the Moon to orbit Earth: one month. This phenomenon is known as tidal locking. Since we only see one side of the Moon, how much of the Moon is visible to us over the course of a month depends on which part of the Moon is reflecting light from the Sun. And that depends on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth.

Why NASA wants to put a nuclear power plant on the moon
NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy will seek proposals from industry to build a nuclear power plant on the moon and Mars to support its long-term exploration plans. The proposal is for a fission surface power system, and the goal is to have a flight system, lander and reactor ready to launch by 2026.
Anthony Calomino, NASA's nuclear technology portfolio lead within the Space Technology Mission Directorate, said that the plan is to develop a 10-kilowatt class fission surface power system for demonstration on the moon by the late 2020s. The facility will be fully manufactured and assembled on Earth, then tested for safety and to make sure it operates correctly.
