Mark your calendars, we have a very time favorable lunar eclipse coming up on Sunday, May 15. May’s eclipse starts during moonrise and reaches peak totality at 9:11 pm. More eclipse information can be found on the Time and Date website.
You can view the “blood moon” from anywhere and without a telescope but, our club will be at the San Bernardino County Museum for the show.
The next total lunar eclipse will be on November 8 but at 3:00 am!
You’ll need to get up early or stay up late to view parts of the May 26 lunar eclipse. West Coast viewers will be able to see the umbral stage beginning around 2:45 am and conclude at around 5:50 am shortly before the moon sets.
