On the morning of Election Day 2022, a total lunar eclipse — the Blood Moon — crossed the sky over North America, offering itself to those fortunate enough to live beneath clear air. A Canadian high-pressure system drew a generous arc of visibility from New England down through the Gulf Coast, while storms and mountain snows closed the curtain for much of the West. The event was a quiet reminder that the cosmos moves on its own terms, indifferent to borders or convenience, and that the next such gift for North American skywatchers would not arrive until March 2025.
