Under the Crimson Moon - Total Lunar Eclipse - At The Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center


*The event has already taken place on this date: Tue, 11/08/2022
On Tuesday, November 8, 2022 a Total Lunar Eclipse is taking place and it will be visible to all in New England. This will be an awesome night and Frosty Drew Observatory is opening to celebrate the event starting at 2:30 am offering excellent views of the eclipse. We will stay on site and open until sunrise, as the eclipse will set during its total eclipse stage over New England. The eclipse will begin at 3:02 am Tuesday morning and will start as a dimming of one side of the Moon. At 4:09 am the partial eclipse will begin when a chunk of the Moon will start to appear missing. Total eclipsing of the Moon will start at 5:16 am with maximum totality occurring at 5:59 am and ending at 6:41 am. Once totality ends, the partial eclipse will continue until 7:49 am, which is after the Moon sets for our location. The Frosty Drew Sky Theatre will be open all morning, showing a live stream of the lunar eclipse on the big screen. The Observatory will be open for tours though the main telescope will remain closed. On screen in the Observatory will be a live stream of the lunar eclipse. We will have telescopes setup outside the observatory offering views of the night sky and the lunar eclipse. So dust off those binoculars. Grab a blanket, lawn chair, some tasty eats, family, and friends and hang out with us in Ninigret Park under the crimson Moon.
