[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Lunar eclipse tomorrow night

Sun May 15 07:53:09 PDT 2022

Since it is May, the sun is approaching its June solstice. Since we are in the northern hemisphere, and the moon will be opposite the sun, the moon will be LOW in the sky to our south ( highest it will get that night). We are expecting a 60% sky cloud cover, and tall trees may block it.

The Moon is always opposite the Sun during an eclipse, so it will be high in the sky, though maybe a bit east or southeast of the direct overhead position. We may have some clouds, so you may have to be patient. Last night was cloudy, so the Moon was hard to see if visible at all. 

Repeating for the Group:

NY Times says totality is 12:12 AM Mon EDT to 1:00 AM Mon EDT.

11:29 PM Sun to 1:56 AM Mon for the entire event. 

I think your source was using Standard Time Zones. 

But better to check early than to miss the event.
