The last lunar eclipse of the year will be visible across Canada on the night of November 7-8, an event not to be missed as the next total lunar eclipse won’t occur until 2025.
Thus, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, it will be possible to see the moon take on a reddish color as it passes through the shadow of the earth. This phenomenon also called “blood moon” will be visible for about an hour.
Unfortunately, the event won’t be very visible in Quebec as the moon will set during the eclipse.
Although there are on average two lunar eclipses per year, the chances of seeing a total eclipse are lower as they only occur in 37.3% of cases, according to the Canadian Space Agency.
Although 2022 was marked by two total lunar eclipses, that of November will be the last for a period of three years. By March 14, 2025, the population will still have a chance to see partial and penumbral eclipses, NASA said.
Phases of the November 8 eclipse, according to NASA (Eastern Time)
3:02: start of the penumbral eclipse
4:09: Beginning of the partial eclipse
5:17 am: start of the total eclipse
6:42 am: end of the total eclipse
* The day will arise when the partial and penumbral eclipses will end.
