Eclipses visible in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, USA – Nov 8, 2022 Lunar Eclipse (timeanddate.com)

This eclipse is also special because it will fall just a few days after the peak night for the annual Taurid meteor shower, which is known for producing bright, colorful fireballs. While the light of the moon may diminish most meteors, there’s a chance that a fireball could add an exclamation point to the early-morning viewing.

The eclipse will be visible across the entire U.S. No special equipment is needed for viewing it, but you’ll want to keep your fingers crossed for clear skies.

So why is this moon called a “blood moon”? Because a total lunar eclipse affects which types of light waves reach the moon’s surface, making it appear a rusty, copper red color. Dust in the Earth’s atmosphere can also contribute to the eclipsed moon’s spooky hue.

The November full moon is also called the Beaver Moon according to the Old Farmers Almanac, which references the monthly full moons with names tied to early Native American, colonial American, and European folklore. That nickname is owed to this being the time of year when beavers start to hunker down for the winter in their lodges, as well as the historical season for beaver trapping during the era of the North American fur trade.

Another start to great year for science. In these difficult times, we need to understand science more than ever.

Join Science club. Stop watching cool demos on you tube and come see them in person.

National Astronomy Day 2018

David Mazurek finds Meteorite: https://www.woodtv.com/news/montcalm-county/montcalm-co-doorstop-actually-100k-meteorite/1498302794

A meteor is a block of matter, relatively small by cosmological standards, that has descended into Earth’s atmosphere from outer space, burning a trail of dust and fire as its high speed produces friction with the air. A meteoroid is the name given to a body of matter moving in space before it enters Earth’s atmosphere. A meteorite is the name for the rock that remains after a meteor strikes Earth’s surface.
