You should get up early this Friday and enjoy a partial lunar eclipse. This natural phenomenon will occur at about 2:59 AM CST.

Why the “Beaver” Moon? This is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient stores of food for the long winter ahead. During the time of the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts.
