The Moon bit the Sun Oct. 25, producing a partial solar eclipse and two weeks later, November 7-8, Earth’s shadow will cover the Moon, resulting in a total lunar eclipse. Courtesy/timeanddate
Roswell Astronomy Club News:
A team of eclipse chasers from timeanddate.com will be in Roswell Nov. 5-9 to film and live stream the Nov. 8 total lunar eclipse, in collaboration with the Roswell Astronomy Club.
The timeanddate.com eclipse broadcasts regularly attract millions of views worldwide.
Weather permitting, the broadcast also will include footage from partnering organizations in several locations worldwide, such as the Perth Observatory (Australia), the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera (Hawaii), Starry Knights (Hawaii), the Amateur Astronomers Association (New York), and the San Diego Astronomy Association (California).
“We’re grateful to the Roswell Astronomy Club, who are giving us wonderful on-the-ground support,” said timeanddate’s Steffen Thorsen, adding: “We’re hoping for clear skies on the night of the eclipse and looking forward to sharing the view from Roswell with the rest of the world—and we’re excited about coming back next year for the big solar eclipse!”
The team will return Oct. 14 to Roswell in 2023 to stream the annular solar eclipse.
