Watch the skies for a total supermoon lunar eclipse on Sunday night, May 15th, 2022!

But what does that mean?
What is a lunar eclipse?
Do you need special equipment to watch it?
What’s the best way to photograph it?

Find the answers to these and other questions on Saturday, May 14th, at a special lunar eclipse event held in the Arlington Mill Community Center.

Come at 2:30 pm for some fun lunar-related activities for both children and adults. Then, at 3:00 pm, Kenneth Moore will give a talk about lunar eclipses. He’ll talk about what causes an eclipse, where and when to see it, what to expect while you’re watching, and maybe even provide a couple of tips for taking pictures.

Kenneth Moore is a retired Planetarium Assistant Director who has educated the public in two planetariums located in southern Virginia. He taught people of all ages about the wonders of the Universe through live lectures and recorded productions. He currently works for the Department of Justice, but still uses his time and astronomy background to engage the public through outreach programs.
