A total lunar eclipse occurred on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. The southern limb of the Moon passed through the center of the Earth's shadow. Occurring only 5.8 days before apogee (apogee is on November 14, 2022), the Moon's apparent diameter shrank. The next total lunar eclipse will take place on March 14, 2025, and with a duration of totality 5 seconds longer than the previous eclipse in May, it will surpass that as the longest total lunar eclipse visible from nearly all of the United States between 1989 and 2029.[1] A lunar occultation of Uranus happened during the eclipse.[2] It was the first total lunar eclipse on Election Day in US history.[3][4] This event was referred to some in media coverage as a "beaver blood moon".[5][6][7]
Visibility
The eclipse was completely visible over the Pacific and most of North America. It was seen on the rising moon in Australia, Asia and in the far north-east of Europe, and on the setting moon in South America and eastern North America. In Philippines many people see the eclipse after moonrise. It was also seen in the Barona's Farm in Mawab, Davao De Oro, Philippines.

Saros series
This eclipse was a part of Saros cycle 136, and the first of the series that passes through the center of the Earth's shadow. The last occurrence was on 28 October 2004. The next occurrence will happen on 18 November 2040.
Half-Saros cycle
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[8] This lunar eclipse was related to two hybrid solar eclipses of Solar Saros 143.

Metonic series
This eclipse is the third of five Metonic cycle lunar eclipses on the same date, 8–9 November:
The Metonic cycle repeats nearly exactly every 19 years and represents a Saros cycle plus one lunar year. Because it occurs on the same calendar date, the Earth's shadow will be in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.
