Don't miss the Beaver Blood Moon lunar eclipse on Nov. 8

On Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022, the moon will pass through the shadow of Earth resulting in a total lunar eclipse that will be from Oceania, the Americas, Asia, and Northern Europe.

The eclipse will begin at 4:10 a.m. EST (0810 GMT) and will end at approximately 7:49 a.m. EDT (1149 GMT) when the moon once again emerges. The total eclipse period is shorter than this, however, and will last from 5:17 a.m. EST (0917 GMT) to 6:42 a.m. EST (1042 GMT).

According to EarthSky.org, this will be the first total lunar eclipse on Election Day in U.S. history (since 1776).

Dunlin,

If I am reading the times right, the moon will be very low on the western horizon by the time the eclipse comes. It will be about 4:00 in the morning.

Talk about getting out of bed!

Oh boy. I can't see anywhere near the horizon from my garden, and I don't think I'll be taking an outing at 3am!

Looks like I might have to miss this one, shame.

I would love to, but . . . .

Today, a major Pacific storm is blowing in and the forecast is for heavy cloud cover tonight.  I seem to be jinxed regarding Eclipses lately.  All started after the big one in August 2017.
