SAN DIEGO -- Don't miss the opportunity to see November's full moon as it shines across the sky Monday night. When you look up into the sky on Sunday you'll see an illuminated, nearly full moon, as long as the clouds stay away. But the last full moon of the fall season, called the "Beaver Moon," will peak Monday at 1:16 a.m. PT. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the moon gets its name as this is the time of year when beavers start to take shelter for the winter. The full moon is visible for longer this time of year as the sun sets earlier and earlier every day leading up to the "shortest day" of the year on December 22. Did you know each full moon has its own name? Here’s why Sunset these days in San Diego falls around 4:43 p.m. The sunset in other parts of Southern California this weekend are 4:38 p.m. in Palm Springs; 4:42 p.m. in Riverside; and 4:44 p.m. in Santa Ana, NWS San Diego posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.

Memphis provided a reminder Sunday of how grateful the Timberwolves should be for their health.The Grizzlies entered the season with title aspirations. It was a common “bold” — or not so bold — prediction from national pundits that Memphis would finish with the best regular-season record in the Western Conference, the logical next step for a franchise that’s twice finished as the No. 2 seed in the conference and won a playoff series in 2022.But, instead, the Grizzlies fell to 3-13 on Sunday, as they were blitzed 119-97 at home by Minnesota, who instead is the new conference front-runner.There are certainly similarities and differences between the two organizations that have been mentioned in the same breath for various reasons over the past few seasons. But the primary separator this season, which again reared its head Sunday in Memphis, was health.The Timberwolves (12-4) are currently missing just one of their top-eight players in Jaden McDaniels.
