Don't miss these incredible astronomical events in November 2022
Major astronomical phenomena will occur in November 2022, the most notable of which are the total lunar eclipse, two meteor showers, and planetary conjunctions.
We commemorate the deceased in November 2022, but it is worthwhile to look up because this month will feature significant astronomical events like a total lunar eclipse, meteor showers, and the New Moon.
The development of the Crescent Quarter Moon and its conjunction with Saturn, which can be seen in the direction of the constellation of Capricorn, will kick off the activity of astronomical phenomena on November 1st, according to the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics (INAOE).
On November 8, a total lunar eclipse will take place
A total lunar eclipse will be seen in the Mexican Republic on Tuesday, November 8. You will need to wake up early to see this amazing astronomical event because it will last from 03:10 to 06:49 in the morning, with the highest point occurring at 05:00. The sunrise will make it impossible to observe the event in the middle of the nation.
Star shower Northern Taurids on November 12, 2022
The Northern Taurids, which began actively on October 20 and will end on December 10, will be the first-star shower in November 2022. The peak will be on November 12, as it is predicted to have an observed rate of five meteors per hour.
The Leonids star shower will be visible from November 6, 2022, to November 30, 2022, peaking on Thursday, November 17, with a rate of five meteors per hour. The comet 55P's debris is what's causing the shower, and the Moon's light will make it difficult to see it.
