November 2022 Lunar Eclipse.

A total lunar eclipse occurred on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. 

The southern limb of the Moon passed through the center of the Earth's shadow. It surpassed the previous eclipse as the longest total lunar eclipse visible from nearly all of North America since August 17, 1989, and until June 26, 2029.

Occurring only 5.8 days before apogee (on November 14, 2022), the Moon's apparent diameter was smaller. The next total lunar eclipse will take place on March 14, 2025. 

A lunar occultation of Uranus happened during the eclipse. It was the first total lunar eclipse on Election Day in US history. This event was referred in media coverage as a "beaver blood moon".
