November MOON PHASES November Highlights

Lunar Eclipse: A total lunar eclipse will be visible in Hawai’i
from the late evening of Nov. 7 (10 p.m.) to the early morning
of Nov. 8 (3 a.m.). A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes
FULL LAST NEW FIRST through Earth’s shadow. As this happens, the moon becomes
11/7 11/16 11/23 11/30 darker and eventually takes on a deep reddish color.
Makahiki: The star cluster of Makali’i will rise in the quadrant
of Ko’olau at the exact same time that the Sun sets. This is an
important celestial indicator to begin the season of Makahiki, a
time of celebration and peace in traditional Hawaiian culture.
