The night sky has several treats in store for 2022: Expect lunar eclipses, a planetary alignment and meteor showers!
The new year brings not one, but two total lunar eclipses -- the first on the night of May 15-16 and the last on Nov. 8...
The May total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout the entire contiguous U.S., weather permitting of course. Unfortunately for West Coasters, the eclipse will only be visible briefly.
The Western U.S., however, has an advantage for the November lunar eclipse, as the moon will set just before the height of the eclipse on the East Coast.
On the morning of June 24, six planets will appear to form a rare alignment with the moon.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all bright enough to be seen with the naked eye and will align in order across the eastern sky.

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
