While We Wait

Total Lunar Eclipse 2022

Every day the skies give us something to see and marvel at. This week we get a special treat (just past Halloween in the USA.) Unfortunately, the people in Africa and Europe will not get to see this one. For the rest the total lunar eclipse of November 8, 2022 provides us with an opportunity to see some kind of eclipse while we wait for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. For North America this eclipse happens in the early hours of November 8, 2022. The image gives times for the Eastern time zone. For Central time subtract and hour. Early risers will see a reddish/orange moon during the times of totality. The full moon normally is so bright that it blots out most nearby stars. The totally eclipsed moon is much darker and allows the viewer easy views of those same stars. I hope you enjoy this slow-paced event.
