Tuesday’s will be the second total lunar eclipse this year, after one in May. The last total lunar eclipse that occurred on November 8, 2022, thrilled skywatchers worldwide, the next total lunar eclipse also known as a blood moon lunar eclipse won't happen. There’s no special viewing equipment necessary to see May 15th’s celestial show. They will have to wait until the next one in 2025, or settle for numerous partial lunar eclipses until then. Don’t worry about digging them out for tonight’s Lunar Eclipse. While those in South America will be able to see some of the lunar eclipse on Tuesday if the weather cooperates, Africa, the Middle East and most of Europe will not, sadly, get a chance to view it. Observers can improve their viewing with binoculars and telescopes, and they should hope for clear skies. According to scientists with Nasa, the moon will be 242,740 miles (390,553km) away from Earth. The eclipse will appear reddish-orange from the light of Earth’s sunsets and sunrises, creating what is known as a blood moon. The eclipse’s totality will last nearly 90 minutes – from 5.16am to 6.41am ET – as Earth passes directly between the moon and sun.
