US-based astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy created an incredible composite image, showing the Moon in various stages of the eclipse throughout the night.

If you've ever wanted to see a total lunar eclipse but haven't gotten the chance, you'll want to seize the opportunity this week.

Last night there was a total lunar eclipse in which the moon was completely obscured by the Earth's shadow. Added to this is the very rare phenomenon of Uranus hiding behind the moon and reappearing.

A total lunar eclipse will be visible across North America if skies are clear in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Nov. 8, according to NASA.

The first Election Day total lunar eclipse in U.S. history will be visible in Maryland on Tuesday morning.

The full length of the eclipse will last about an hour and a half.

People do not have to feel hesitant to see the lunar eclipse with the naked eye, unlike solar eclipse which has harmful UV rays.

A total lunar eclipse will light up the skies in November and you can get a front-row seat to the astrological phenomenon right here in Quebec. The magic will occur on November 8 and marks the second total lunar eclipse of 2022. Montrealers looking to set their sights on the blood moon moment can do so starting at 3 p.m. as the penumbral eclipse begins.

The blood moon can be safely seen with the naked eye, better in a dark environment away from bright lights, but using cameras, telescopes, and binoculars can enhance the viewing experience.

The total lunar eclipse on Nov. 8 is a rare phenomenon that is usually observed once every one and a half years, with the next expected to be on Mar. 14, 2025.
