Staring up at the stars can be awe-inspiring even on a normal night. Stargazing during an astronomical event? That’s truly special.
The upcoming total lunar eclipse starts early on Tuesday, November 8, and amateur astronomers will be able to watch the effects as the sun, Earth, and moon align in totality. This is the last time a total lunar eclipse will be visible in North America until March 2026. Earth’s shadow will completely cover the moon, and the moon will appear bright red in the night sky, earning its “blood moon” nickname. The lunar eclipse will be visible in North and Central America, in parts of South America, and in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, peaking at 10:59 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
