When is the lunar eclipse tonight?
The total lunar eclipse will occur on November 8 and will be visible from most of the globe. The eclipse has three main phases: penumbral, partial, and full.
What time is the lunar eclipse in November 2022?
The eclipse's first penumbral phase starts at 08:02 GMT on November 8. This phase isn’t visible to the naked eye.
The partial phase begins at 09:09 GMT. This is when you can start observing. During this phase, the part of the lunar disk looks darkened because it’s getting covered by the Earth’s umbral shadow.
The full phase begins at 10:16 GMT. At this point, the Moon takes on a reddish tinge, completely bathed in the Earth’s umbral shadow. For its color, the totally eclipsed lunar disk is called the Blood Moon.
At 11:41 GMT, the full phase ends, and the partial phase begins again.
The penumbral phase follows at 12:49 GMT – since then, the eclipse isn’t visible to the naked eye.
The lunar eclipse ends at 13:56 GMT.
When is the lunar eclipse peak time?
The total lunar eclipse begins at 10:16 GMT, reaches its peak (when the Moon is at its closest to the center of the Earth's shadow) at 10:59 GMT, and lasts until 11:41 GMT. During this period, you get the best view of the Full Blood Moon, but better to start observing an hour earlier.
How long does the lunar eclipse last?
The visible path of the lunar eclipse (partial phase, full phase, partial phase) lasts 3 hours and 40 minutes. The total lunar eclipse lasts 1 hour 25 minutes, from 10:16 to 11:41 GMT on November 8.
