The total eclipse will last for nearly 90 minutes from coast to coast across the U.S.
Hours before citizens across the country cast their votes in a contentious midterm election, a sinister red moon will loom in the sky. The last total lunar eclipse of 2022 is set to stain the moon red during the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Residents across both coasts will be able to watch the spectacle for just under 90 minutes.Total lunar eclipses, commonly known as “blood moons,” only happen during full moons when the Earth completely shields the moon from the sun.
Everyone on the night side of the Earth will be able to see the eclipse. Viewers on the West Coast will be able to watch the entire lunar eclipse without disruptions because it will occur in the middle of the night. Residents on the East Coast will be watching the copper moon sink into the horizon due to early sunrise times. Hawaii is the “absolute ideal location” to watch the eclipse, Petro said.
Unlike the blinding effect of solar eclipses, special equipment is not needed to see the reddish hues, but observing in a dark environment away from bright lights makes for the best viewing, according to NASA.Astronomers can determine total lunar eclipses years in advance due to their knowledge of the moon’s orbital patterns.
