Astronomy Events to Look For in 2022

If you didn't get a new calendar for Christmas, you're probably going to buy one this week. And while you're jotting down birthdays and anniversaries on it, you might also want to mark the eclipses and planetary alignments that will occur in 2022.

There will be two, count 'em, two total lunar eclipses available to viewers in the US. The first one, on the night of May 15-16, will be visible from all 48 contiguous states -unless the clouds move in where you are. The second, on November 8, will occur at night the west coast and during daylight on the east coast. There will also be an alignment of six planets on June 24, which is an excuse to buy a telescope or at least find a community event with telescopes. Read more about these events, and see the entire schedule for meteor showers and full moons, at WABC.  -via Fark

We've been seeing the planets aligning while working at night at Big Lots. At first I thought it was stars, but a guy with a telescope corrected me
Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
