Here’s how, where and when to watch the November 2022 full moon.First published on Sun 6 Nov 2022 22.52 GMTwill be treated to a total lunar eclipse, weather permitting. It’s an opportunity not to be missed, as the next one won’t be visible from the region until 2025.
In Tuesday’s eclipse the period of totality – when the moon is fully immersed in shadow – will last a leisurely 85 minutes.The only light reaching the moon’s surface will first pass through the Earth’s atmosphere, which is why the moon will take on a red hue. Just how red it appears will depend on how dusty the Earth’s atmosphere is.
In New Zealand the eclipse will happen late in the evening, and the eclipse maximum will be just before midnight.Across Australia, the eclipse will happen around moonrise. So the moon will be much lower in the sky and battling against the twilight glow during the eclipse’s early stages.
