The moon will pass under Earth's shadow on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, resulting in a complete lunar eclipse visible from Oceania, the Americas, Asia, and Northern Europe.

Beginning at 4:10 a.m. EST (0810 GMT), the eclipse will last until the moon re-emerges at about 7:49 a.m. EDT (1149 GMT).
The complete eclipse, on the other hand, will continue from 5:17 a.m. EST (0917 GMT) until 6:42 a.m. EST (1042 GMT).

Because the moon lies in Earth's shadow, sunlight is blocked, making the moon look less bright. The moon's disc will ultimately look unilluminated by the sun as the eclipse progresses, although some light will still strike the moon.

The moon may take on a brownish red colour during the complete lunar eclipse as a consequence of sunlight striking its disc after being curved around the Earth by our planet's atmosphere, which also filters off blue light.

Lunar eclipses occur when the sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line, with the Earth in the centre casting a shadow on the moon. Every full moon, or about once a month, the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun.
Despite this, eclipses do not occur every month because the moon circles the Earth at an angle of around five degrees relative to the plane in which the Earth orbits the sun, resulting in an imperfect alignment of the three bodies.

Lunar eclipses are visible everywhere on Earth when the moon is above the horizon, which happens two to three times a year. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses may be seen directly.

The complete lunar eclipse on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, is the year's second and final lunar eclipse, with the last eclipse being on May 16.

The moon's appearance changes as the eclipse progresses because the Earth's shadow is made up of distinct components.

The next lunar eclipse, the first of 2023, will take place on May 6. This will be a penumbral eclipse, with just the Earth's fainter outer shadow falling on the moon's disc, making it easier to overlook.
