The longest lunar eclipse of the century is fast approaching!
Change language:
In the past few years, several spectacular eclipses could be witnessed from different parts of the world. Nevertheless, the next and possibly most marvellous lunar eclipse can be witnessed soon, at the end of July, according to sokszinuvidek.24.hu. You definitely do not want to miss it.
On the night of July 27th, it is going to be the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century for those living on the Eastern hemisphere (Eastern Africa and Central Asia). Do not be discouraged if you live elsewhere, though, as the natural wonder will be partially visible from Western Africa, East Asia, South-America, Australia as well as from Europe, too.
The eclipse will take place in a span of 1 hour and 43 minutes. Counting the partial eclipses, too, the natural wonder will last 3 hours and 55 minutes on the Eastern hemisphere.
It is important to note that the longest lunar eclipse so far lasted 1 hour and 47 minutes altogether.
Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon during which the Moon gets partially or entirely behind the Earth’s shadow. It occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon and its shadow or half-shadow is reflected onto the Moon.
