A total lunar eclipse will be visible across Canada on Sunday, January 20 into Monday, January 21 and if skies remain clear, then everyone in Canada will be able to see it. The eclipse can be seen in its entirety in North and South America and will attract millions of stargazers. Lunar eclipses can be seen with the naked eye and you do not need equipment to observe them.
However you can use binoculars or a small telescope to see more detail.
The January 20 eclipse is a total lunar eclipse, when the Earth’s shadow completely crosses the Earth’s umbra (inner part, where there is no sunlight).
The eclipse is expected to last a total of five hours and 12 minutes, with the total eclipse lasting for an hour and two minutes.
The next total lunar eclipse will not be visible in North American until May of 2022.
Environment Canada says there shall be clear skies on Sunday night with a low of -4C, so night stargazers will be able to view the eclipse in comfort.
