You won’t want to miss the upcoming total lunar eclipse visible throughout the US during the evening of May 15th. Get the information you need in the flyer prepared for NSTA by Andrew Fraknoi. Find the flyer the NSTA “Eclipse Collection” at https://my.nsta.org/collection/Qr_sIClpjoYE_E - see second item in list.

We are not too far from our next total lunar eclipse visible from North America; it should take place during the evening of November 08, 2022. I stumbled across a website: timeanddate.com which has a countdown clock, possible movements, and explanation of each phase for the moon that night, which students might find interesting once we are closer to the date. 

Do you all think it is relevant to study eclipses during our science lessons as so few are rarely visible from the United States or in your past experience, how interested are students in the subject?
