SOTS are separated by a slate with the associated question Associated cut b-roll for the live shots will be added by 4:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday May 12 As summer approaches and the weather warms up, our nearest celestial neighbor has a special treat for skywatchers – a total lunar eclipse visible across North and South America the evening of Sunday, May 15. For 84 minutes, the Moon will cross through Earth’s shadow, making the full Moon appear a coppery red as it reflects back all of Earth’s sunrises and sunsets. In preparation for this cosmic event, NASA experts are available to share details on how to view the eclipse plus highlights of lunar science as NASA prepares to send the next generation of explorers to the Moon with the Artemis program.Live interviews in English or Spanish will be offered in 9-minute slots on Friday, May 13, 2022, from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

We would love to hear from you HERE!Suggested Anchor Intro:So many of us look up at the Moon, and this Sunday, the Moon is giving us a special show. A total lunar eclipse! Here to talk about why this weekend’s Moon is so special, and the ongoing effort to return humans to the Moon is NASA expert XXXX.Suggested Questions:The Moon has a special treat for skywatchers this weekend! What makes Sunday night's Moon so special?The Moon will turn red during the lunar eclipse, why is that?We sent people to the Moon with the Apollo program, now we’re going back with Artemis. What are we doing right now to get ready? How does our Moon help us better understand other planets and moons in our solar system?Where can our viewers go to learn more about the Moon? Longer Questions: NASA has been studying the Moon in incredible detail with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter for almost 13 years. What are some of your favorite things we have learned about our Moon?How is the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter helping to usher in a new era of lunar science?A lunar eclipse must be a rough ride for a solar-powered lunar orbiter. What does the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have to do to prepare for an eclipse?** Outside the United States? Here are details about how you can see the eclipse.The total lunar eclipse will be visible close to the time the Moon sets on Monday morning in western parts of Europe and Africa. The full duration of the eclipse will be visible throughout all of South America, Central America, eastern US and Canada, and most of Antarctica. In the western parts of US and Canada, totality will be visible just after moonrise Sunday evening. The partial eclipse will be visible from eastern parts of Europe and Africa just before the Moon sets in the morning, and from the Pacific islands and New Zealand just after the Moon rises in the evening. No eclipse will be visible for observers in Australia, Oceania, Asia, and most of Alaska. For More InformationSee [https://www.nasa.gov/moon](https://www.nasa.gov/moon) Related pages

NARRATED VIDEO - 3D SIDE-BY-SIDE: This version of the video is rendered in the side-by-side format used by some stereoscopic 3D displays. NARRATED VIDEO - 3D ANAGLYPH (RED/BLUE): This version is in anaglyph (red/blue) and can be viewed in 3D using common red/blue 3D glasses. You may have a pair lying around at home! ANIMATION - LUNAR ECLIPSE FEATURES: During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, which can be divided into two parts. When it passes through the penumbra, the moon only gets slightly darker. When it passes through the umbra, however, it darkens further and turns a deep red. ANIMATION - PHASES OF THE MOON: Normally, the appearance of the moon changes based on where the moon is in its orbit. This cycle is called the phases of the moon! ANIMATION - 2011 ECLIPSE SCHEDULE: This animation shows the viewing times for the June 15, 2011 lunar eclipse. ANIMATION - LIGHT SCATTERED BY THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE: As light passes by the Earth's atmosphere, short wavelengths, like blue, are scattered. By the time light finishes its trip to the moon, only longer wavelengths, like red, remain. This is why the moon turns red during an eclipse! Credit goes to TheWusa from de.wikipedia.org for the illustration this animation is based on. ANIMATION - LIGHT SCATTERING SEEN FROM THE MOON: The way that light is scattered by the Earth's atmosphere to turn the moon red during an eclipse is similar to how the sky turns red at sunset. Credit goes to TheWusa from de.wikipedia.org for the illustration this animation is based on. ANIMATION - ECLIPSE VIEWED FROM EARTH: When you see an eclipse from Earth, the moon gets darker and turns a deep red before eventually returning to its normal color. The process can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. VISUALIZATION - PHASES OF THE MOON/LIBRATING MOON: As the moon moves through its phases, it can also appear to "dance" slightly. This is due to its position relative to the Earth. ANIMATION - MOON AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE PENUMBRA: As the moon moves through the penumbra, it only darkens slightly. ANIMATION - RED MOON: During a lunar eclipse, the moon turns red. This is due to light being scattered as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere! When the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, it causes the moon to look very unusual for a short period of time. This event is called a lunar eclipse, and it occurs roughly twice a year.

We've included left and right eye clips, a side-by-side version, and an anaglyph (red/blue) version of the narrated video, and left and right eye clips for each of the animations.
