The lunar eclipse was visible over much of the Americas, Antarctica, Europe, Africa and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a straight line, with the Moon entering the Earth’s darkest region. When that happens, the moonlight will be dimmed and turn red or dark orange, hence the phenomenon also known as “blood moon”.
This time, the Moon was closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit, making the object appear larger than usual and nicknamed the “super blood moon”.
According to Noah Petro, Head of NASA’s Geology, Geophysics and Chemistry Laboratory, the last total lunar eclipse of 2022 will take place on November 8 and will be visible from Asia, Oceania, and Asia. North America, parts of Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, the Arctic and most of Antarctica. After this event, the world will have to wait until March 2025 to see the total lunar eclipse again.
