The last lunar eclipse of the year will take place next week.
And, according to an astronomy educator who lives outside Ottawa, it will be the last for some time.
Gary Boyle says the eclipse, with the moon passing through Earth’s shadow, will take place in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday, November 8, with Eastern, Atlantic and Newfoundland time zones who will see most of the event until the moon sets.

Next week’s full moon is also called a beaver moon.
According to the website Almanac.com, it is called the Beaver Moon because it occurs during the month when beavers begin to take shelter in their homes.
The website says the full moon is also known by the names Digging, Deer Rutting, Whitefish, Frost and Freezing.
Lunar eclipses are also known as Blood Moons, making this eclipse the Beaver Blood Moon.
