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 will not occur until 2025.
Thus, in the early morning on Tuesday, 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 will not be very visible in Quebec since the moon will set during the eclipse.
While there are on average two lunar eclipses per year, the chances of seeing a total eclipse are lower since they occur in only 37.3% of cases, according to the Canadian Space Agency.
Although 2022 has been punctuated by two total lunar eclipses, November’s will be the last for a three-year period. By March 14, 2025, the population will still have the chance to see partial and penumbral eclipses, NASA said.
