Lunar Eclipse

Nov 19, 2021

The lunar eclipse begins in a few hours! Unfortunately, the clouds will be blocking my view, but I hope others are able to enjoy the spectacle!

At 3 hours, 28 minutes, and 24 seconds, the November full moon eclipse is the longest partial eclipse to occur in 580 years. All of North America and parts of South America and Russia will be able to see the show.

Although it’s technically not a TOTAL lunar eclipse, it’s about as close as you can get while falling just shy of 100%. The umbra will cover all but a tiny sliver of the full Beaver Moon. Here are the times of the 2021 November lunar eclipse:

  • 1:02 A.M. EDT (10:02 P.M. PDT) – The eclipse begins as the moon enters the penumbra (outer shadow edge)

  • 2:18 A.M. EDT (11:18 P.M. PDT) – The moon will reach the umbra (darkest part of the shadow)

  • 4:02 A.M. EDT (1:02 A.M. PDT) – Peak of the partial lunar eclipse

  • 5:47 A.M. EDT (2:47 A.M. PDT) – The moon passes back into the penumbra

  • 7:03 A.M. EDT (4:03 A.M. PDT) – The eclipse ends as the moon leaves the penumbra
