The next full Moon will be early on Monday morning, November 30, 2020, appearing opposite the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 4:30 AM EST. The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Saturday night through Tuesday morning. The Moon will be close enough to opposite the Sun that it will pass through the partial shadow of the Earth, with 83 percent of the Moon in the partial shadow at 4:44 AM, the peak of the eclipse.

China launches ambitious mission to bring back samples from the Moon - The Verge
Today, China successfully launched its most ambitious mission to the Moon to date — this one designed to bring a handful of lunar rocks back to Earth before the end of the year. If successful, it'll be the first time in nearly half a century that dirt from the Moon has been returned to Earth and the first time that China has retrieved materials from another world.
The mission, called Chang'e 5, is the latest in a long line of lunar missions that China has been conducting over the last decade. In 2013, the country made its first soft landing on the Moon with Chang'e 3, making China just one of three nations to put a spacecraft on the lunar surface. Then in December 2018, China launched Chang'e 4 and successfully put a lander and rover on the far side of the Moon in early 2019 — a feat that no other nation has accomplished.

First Dog on the Moon: the 10 funniest things I have ever seen (on the internet) | Comedy | The
T he internet. There is so much of it and most of it is awful and even the good bits are still the internet. If I didn't have to look at it for my job I am confident I would never give it another thought, I would throw my router in the sea. Then all the cartoons would be about things like "what I had for breakfast" and "First Dog Wonders what is happening on the Internet". I have internet poisoning.

These are not the 10 funniest things on the internet. They're not even the 10 things I think are the 10 funniest things on the internet. They're the only ones I could remember. Imagine having an easily accessible record of everything that ever happened on earth and you can't remember what is funny on it. That's the internet for you.

See the moon and a super bright Mars cozy up on Thanksgiving eve tonight - CNET
Hunt advises stargazers in most climates to grab a coat, and a pair of binoculars to help with the view. Head outside about an hour after sunset in your time zone, he says, and look for the bright gibbous moon. Mars will appear about five degrees above it.
You don't need to rush outside just at sunset, as the pairing of Mars and the moon is is nearly an all-night affair, Hunt says. The celestial bodies are visible most of the night, from shortly after sunset until about 3 a.m. CT the next morning, about four hours before (your) local sunrise, he adds.
China Sends Robotic Mission To The Moon To Collect Rocks : NPR
The mission will land, take a sample and return to Earth. It's the first such sample-return mission in more than 40 years, and it will tell scientists about the age of the moon and planets.

And now we turn to the newest campaign in space. Early Tuesday morning in Beijing, China launched a rocket to the moon. NPR's Geoff Brumfiel has more on the mission.
BRUMFIEL: Ye Quanzhi is an astronomer at the University of Maryland who tracks China's space program. He says this mission is special because it will both land on the moon and pick up some lunar soil to carry back to Earth.
The November 2020 Full Moon Eclipse Will Affect These 4 Zodiac Signs The Least
The energy of an eclipse is always unpredictable, so it'll be hard to see the road ahead clearly now, Libra. That's OK! "Your mind is opening up, making you want to do some in-depth reading or studies to expand your horizons," Stardust says. You don't have control over the full-moon-induced changes that lie ahead, so commit to actively exploring new mental terrains and pursuing the things that spark your interest — ensuring a bright future regardless of what obstacles get thrown in your path.
Mars and the Moon Are Coming Together in the Night Sky Tonight - Thrillist
Mars has dazzled stargazers throughout the fall, hitting its brightest point of the year in October. Its brilliance at that time won't be replicated for many years to come, but it's certainly not putting down its tail feathers yet.
Mars and the moon will come together for a pairing the night before Thanksgiving . The two celestial objects are going to appear in close proximity from our point of view on the night of Wednesday, November 25. The moon will be just days from being full, and Mars is still close enough to Earth to have a brilliant red hue, glowing as the fifth brightest object in Earth's sky behind the sun, moon, Venus , and Jupiter.
