Weather permitting ...

It's going to be cloudy / rainy / foggy here, so we will be out of luck.

Total lunar eclipse

People in the Americas, Europe and Africa will see the total lunar eclipse during the night of May 15-16, 2022. Plus, on this night, the moon is close: a supermoon.

Penumbral eclipse begins at 1:32 UTC on May 16 (9:32 p.m. EDT on May 15).

Partial eclipse begins at 2:27 UTC on May 16 (10:27 p.m. EDT on May 15).

Totality begins (moon engulfed in Earth’s shadow) begins at 3:29 UTC on May 16 (11:29 p.m. EDT on May 15).

Totality ends at 4:53 UTC on May 16 (12:53 a.m. EDT).

Partial eclipse ends at 5:55 UTC on May 16 (1:55 a.m. EDT).

Penumbral eclipse ends at 6:50 UTC on May 16 (2:50 a.m. EDT).

Maximum eclipse is at 4:12 UTC on May 16 (12:12 a.m. EDT).

Duration of totality: About 85 minutes.

Note: This total eclipse is central. That means the moon passes centrally through the axis of Earth’s dark (umbral) shadow. The moon is in a near part of its orbit – close to Earth – during the eclipse. It’s a supermoon.

Because they are so deep, such eclipses typically have the longest total phases. In this case, the duration of totality lasts almost an hour and a half: 84.9 minutes!

A full moon is up only at night. And a total lunar eclipse can be seen from all of Earth that is experiencing night while the eclipse is taking place. But some will see the eclipse better than others, depending on location. Some will see it at moonrise or moonset, when the moon is low in the sky. Lunar eclipses are safe to view with the unaided eye. Binoculars and telescopes enhance the view, but aren’t required.

I am watching now. Moon is 1/3 in shadow.

I'm in PNW. What's a "Shadow"?

In the last 50 years I'll bet something on the order of 80% of all/any/given special sky event, has been
abrogated by if not regional, at least local cloudy weather.

Heh. Yeah it's pretty cloudy tonight. Just now starting to get dark so I'll go out and have another look in a bit before I call it a night. Not hopeful though.

The shadow just covered the Moon. The color is red-brown with some black on the left. Bad-ass amazing.

Crystal clear in Iowa. I had forgotten about it, saw the full moon rise, an hour or two later noticed it getting smaller but from the bottom left instead of across the middle and remembered. Told the wife about it and we watched it shrink off and on through the window, went outside for totality. Pretty cool.

Not nearly as cool as the 2017 total solar eclipse, but we also didn't have to drive 5 1/2hrs back home to Missouri for 2 1/2 mins of excitement. Crazy how much longer it takes for the lunar eclipsing to happen and how much longer it stays eclipsed.

Just came in from watching the moon go dark. It’s amazing how many city lights can be seen when the sun is not shining Razz

My wife and I watched it from the backyard of our vacant rental house in Chandler, AZ. More fun than sanding and painting. Sent a series of iPhone photos to the family.
