The last total lunar eclipse of the year will be visible across Canada early tomorrow morning.

Called the “beaver blood moon,” it will be the last total eclipse until March 2025. The phrase “blood moon” refers to the eerie red light that the moon is bathed in during a lunar eclipse.

There will only be two penumbral eclipses (when only the rim of the moon is visible) and two partial eclipses (when the moon passes through the centre of Earth’s shadow) in North America between now and then.

On Tuesday, the eclipse will start at around 3am, with the entire eclipse occurring from 5:17 to 6:42am.

Lunar eclipses, in contrast to solar eclipses, are safe to view with the naked eye.

Twitter has announced a subscription service for US$7.99 a month that includes a blue check now given only to verified accounts.

New owner Elon Musk is overhauling the verification system before the U.S. midterm elections.

It was not immediately clear when the subscription would go live.

The change will end Twitter’s current verification system, which was launched in 2009 to prevent impersonations of high-profile accounts such as celebrities and politicians. Current verified accounts include celebrities, athletes and influencers, along with government agencies and politicians worldwide, journalists and news outlets, activists, businesses and brands.
