NOVEMBER'S LUNAR ECLIPSE

On Saturday night, November 8-9, the full Moon will pass through the Earth's
shadow for skywatchers throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, and
western and southern Asia. But this eclipse will be unusually brief,
remaining total for only 25 minutes as the Moon skims barely inside the
southern edge of the darkest portion (the umbra) of our planet's shadow.
