November 8, 2022 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Kingstown
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Kingstown. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (AST) for Kingstown.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:02 am Tue, Nov 8 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  281° | 26.6° | |
| 5:09 am Tue, Nov 8 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 284° | 11.2° | |
| 5:59 am Tue, Nov 8 | Maximum in Kingstown This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Kingstown. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Kingstown because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 286° | 0.2° | |
| 6:01 am Tue, Nov 8 | Setting | Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. | 287° | -0.2° |
