Tuesday's Partial Lunar Eclipse: What Time and How to Watch
Partial Lunar Eclipse Basics
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse is safe to view without special equipment.
During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the Moon's surface is covered by the Earth's shadow. The part of the Moon in the shadow appears dark, while the rest of the Moon remains illuminated.
The upcoming partial lunar eclipse on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, will be visible in North America, South America, and Europe. The eclipse will begin at 4:09 AM CST and reach its peak at 5:16 AM CST. The eclipse will end at 6:49 AM CST.
How to Watch the Partial Lunar Eclipse
The partial lunar eclipse will be visible to the naked eye, but binoculars or a telescope will enhance the view. If you are viewing the eclipse from a location with light pollution, find a dark spot to observe the eclipse.
You can also watch the eclipse online through live streams from NASA and other organizations.
Safety Precautions
It is important to remember that it is never safe to look directly at the Sun during an eclipse. Even a partial solar eclipse can cause damage to your eyes.
If you are viewing the eclipse with a telescope or binoculars, use a solar filter to protect your eyes.
