The second and last lunar eclipse of 2022 will take place on November 8. NASA confirmed this will be the last total lunar eclipse for about three years. Another such eclipse is unlikely before March 14, 2025. 

The lunar eclipse will be visible in Iceland, parts of South America, Central Asia, and Russia, whereas Eastern Brazil, Argentina, northern Scandinavia, and the Middle East will observe a penumbral lunar eclipse, which occurs when the Moon moves through the penumbra, the faint outer part of Earth’s shadow, according to a space.com report.

The lunar eclipse will take place on Tuesday, November 4. The partial lunar eclipse phase is likely to occur at 4:44 am EST.

The blood moon phase will begin 5:17 am EST and will end at 6:42 am EST, after which the partial eclipse will be visible until 8:05 am EST. 

A total lunar eclipse, often referred as the Blood moon, occurs when the full moon moves into the umbral shadow of Earth, only receiving light filtered by Earth’s atmosphere, consequently giving the moon a copper-reddish colour.

The eclipse can be watched online, as TimeandDate.com will broadcast the event live from its mobile observatory based in Roswell, New Mexico, receiving live feeds from San Diego, California and Perth, Australia. The live stream will begin at 4:00 am EST. 

Lunar eclipses are totally safe to watch with naked eyes, unlike solar eclipses. It does not damage one’s eyesight or require any special tool for observation.
