For those of us in Alberta, we are in one of the better positions to view a full lunar eclipse in its entirety, on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, if the weather cooperates.
A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes through the earth's shadow and unlike a solar eclipse can last for hours.
The length of a lunar eclipse gives people a larger time window by which to view it.
For folks in the Cochrane area, the timeline is as follows:
2:09 a.m. partial eclipse begins
3:16 a.m. total eclipse begins
3:59 a.m. mid-eclipse
4:42 a.m. total eclipse ends
5:49 a.m. partial eclipse ends
The forecast is predicting possible flurries early Tuesday morning but hopefully, there will be a break in the clouds to view the event.
