Tonight’s lunar eclipse will be the last major astronomical phenomenon visible from Earth in 2022.
A total lunar eclipse will be visible in many parts of the country on Tuesday evening, with Detik reporting that it will be the last major astronomical phenomenon visible from Earth in 2022.
According to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), the peak of the eclipse will commence at 6 p.m. Western Indonesian Time, 7 p.m. Central Indonesian Time and 8 p.m. Eastern Indonesian Time.
The total duration of the lunar eclipse will be 1 hour, 24 minutes and 58 seconds. The umbral duration of the lunar eclipse – when at least part of the moon will be ensconced in the Earth’s shadow – will be 3 hours, 39 minutes and 50 seconds.
According to NASA, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and moon are aligned such that the moon completely enters the Earth’s shadow.
In 2022, including the Tuesday phenomenon, four eclipses will have taken place, two solar and two lunar. Partial solar eclipses occurred on April 30 and Oct. 25, and a total lunar eclipse occurred on May 16.
None of this year’s previous eclipses were visible from Indonesia.
