Want to watch “Blood Moon” live on YouTube? In the early hours of Tuesday, November 8, 2022, the day of the US election, the surface of the full “Beaver Moon” will turn a mesmerizing reddish copper color for 85 spectacular minutes.
Here’s everything you need to know about the “Blood Moon” total lunar eclipse. It may be the third total lunar eclipse in 18 months, but it’s the last until 2025, and there won’t be one as long or as impressive visible from North America until 2029.
However, if you lack clear skies where you are, or are on the day side of the planet where the eclipse will not be visible (Europe and Africa), there are many places to follow the “Blood Moon” eclipse in time real online
Where to Live Stream ‘Blood Moon’ Total Lunar Eclipse
Finding a place to watch the event live online is not as easy as it should be. There are many YouTube channels that will pretend they have it live, but they are actually showing footage of an old eclipse that happened years ago.
I’ve reviewed all of these YouTube channels for eclipses over the past few years, all of which are from reputable sources including astronomers, observatories, and eclipse enthusiasts.
The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, from where the dwarf planet Pluto was discovered in 1930, will broadcast the total lunar eclipse live through a state-of-the-art 12-inch plane-wave telescope from from its Giovale Open Deck Observatory.
Lowell historian Kevin Schindler and Moon expert John Compton will be the hosts starting at 2:00 am MST on November 8 (4:00 am EST). Totality in Flagstaff is around 4:00 am MST (6:00 am EST).
Timeanddate.com offers some of the most reliable live streams for both lunar and solar eclipses, which will show live views of the entire event from its mobile observatory in Roswell, New Mexico.
It will also take live news and images from astronomers in San Diego, California and Perth, Western Australia.
Telescope retailer High Point Scientific will go live with views of the total lunar eclipse. It all starts at 4:00am EST.
A live stream hosted by Italian astrophysicist Gianluca Masi is scheduled for 4:30 a.m. EST on the Virtual Telescope Project’s WebTV page and YouTube channel. It will include astrological images from all over North America, as well as Australia and India.
NASA TV won’t be the place to go on Nov. 8, in part because its anchors will be busy starting at 4:30 a.m. EST showing the rendezvous and capture of the Cygnus Northrop Grumman cargo ship “SS Sally Ride” arriving at the International Space Station. .
However, in addition to possible occasional viewings of the “Blood Moon” on NASA TV, it’s worth checking out the space agency’s YouTube channel for a closer look at the moment. That’s where they broadcast a live NASA Science Live broadcast of the May 15, 2022 total lunar eclipse.
Live streaming the total lunar eclipse is a great idea if there are clouds where you are, or if you’re on the “wrong” spot on the planet. However, if you are clear about where you are, go outside because you will not regret seeing a “Blood Moon” – one of nature’s most beautiful landscapes – with your own naked eyes.
I wish you clear skies and wide eyes.
