RIVERSIDE (CNS) - Election Day 2022 will be charged with excitement
both politically and celestially, with a total lunar eclipse lasting more than
an hour visible in most of parts of the United States, including Riverside
County.Members of the Riverside Astronomical Society and the Temecula Valley
Astronomers are expected to be star-gazing tonight waiting for the eclipse to
occur. According to NASA, it will begin just after midnight Monday on the West
Coast, when the moon enters the penumbra. However, the moon won't be shrouded
in Earth's shadow until roughly two hours later.The definition of a total Lunar eclipse is when the Earth's orbit
places the Blue Planet completely between the sun and the full moon, blocking
all direct sunlight from reaching the Lunar surface.D
