A total lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, November 8, 2022,[1] with an umbral magnitude of 1.3607.

It was a central lunar eclipse, in which part of the Moon passed through the center of the Earth's shadow.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon's near side entirely passes into the Earth's umbral shadow.

Occurring about 5.6 days before apogee (on November 14, 2022, at 1:40 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was smaller.

Because it occurs on the same calendar date, the Earth's shadow will be in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.

This eclipse is a part of Saros series 136, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 72 events.

The longest duration of totality will be produced by member 35 at 101 minutes, 23 seconds on April 21, 2293.
