On Saturday October 14, the sun,moon and earth play a cosmic dance and line up. This will produce an annular eclipse where the moon does not cover the entire sun producing the “ring of fire”. Many astronomy groups in your area will most likely have viewing parties.

Good morning moon. This crescent is only 2% lit. The darker area is called Earthshine or the DaVinci Glow.
The last total lunar eclipse until the year 2025 occurs in a few hours early Tuesday morning Nov 8. The full Beaver moon begins to slide into the earth’s shadow at 4:09 am EST, 3:09 am CST, 2:09 am MST and 1:09 PST am. Enjoy the show.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s in studio interview on Roger’s 22 Daytime. We will be discussing the upcoming Nov 8 total lunar eclipse. The moon that begins to move into the earth’s shadow at 4:09 am eastern time.
