Totality during the lunar eclipse of 15 May 2022. Direct sunlight is being blocked by the Earth, and the only light reaching it is sunlight refracted by Earth's atmosphere, producing a reddish color. Certain lunar eclipses have been referred to as "blood moons" in popular articles but this is not a scientifically recognized term.
This is an incomplete list of solar eclipses visible from the United States between 1901 and 2100. All eclipses whose path of totality or annularity passes through the land territory of the current fifty U.S. states and the District of Columbia are included. Recent and upcoming partial eclipses for the next 25 years or so are also included.
It was the first total lunar eclipse since the January 2019 lunar eclipse, and the first in a series of an almost tetrad (with four consecutive total or deep partial lunar eclipses). The next total eclipse occurred in May 2022 .
It contains annular eclipses on May 6, 1464 through March 18, 1969, hybrid eclipses from March 29, 1987 through April 20, 2023 and total eclipses from April 30, 2041 through July 26, 2185. The series ends at member 80 as a partial eclipse on February 21, 2528.

An eclipse is a natural phenomenon. In some ancient and modern cultures, solar eclipses were attributed to supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens. Astronomers' predictions of eclipses began in China as early as the 4th century BC; eclipses hundreds of years into the future may now be predicted with high accuracy.
A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth. The eclipse was visible in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil and Antarctica. It was the first eclipse of 2022. At most it covered 54%.
