Weather of Arabia - Today, Tuesday (November 8), the Earth witnessed a total lunar eclipse, the last lunar eclipse in 2022, and the phenomenon of the total lunar eclipse will not be visible until March 2025, prompting fans of astronomical phenomena to take pictures documenting the strange cosmic phenomenon.
The eclipse began at 8:09 pm EST with the moon entering the shadow of the Earth and lasted 85 minutes before the phase of the total eclipse began around 9:16 pm, at which point the color of the moon turned red, for this reason the moon at the total eclipse is called a blood moon .

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, the Earth and the moon coincide in a straight line, which leads to the passage of the moon in the shadow of the earth, meaning that the earth blocks the light of the sun from the moon.
