Total Lunar Eclipse - 2022 MAY 15-16

[CentaurZ]

A Total Lunar Eclipse will occur during the night of 2022 MAY 15-16 for observers in the Americas, Europe and Africa.

Below is my preview graphic for the upcoming eclipse as seen against an imaginary blue wall to make the shadow fully apparent. The predicted event timings are in CDT (UT-5), but will occur at essentially the same real time for all observers experiencing nighttime. The depicted orientation and Moon altitudes are for an observer at Chicago’s Adler Planetarium.

Photos and descriptions of the eclipse would be welcome additions to this thread.

Quite low down from the UK but looking forward to it anyway.

I couldn't stay out for it all, but it was clear.

Got cloudy at 3am but it was over by then.
