The longest lunar eclipse of the century will be on July 27

Vox:

On Friday, July 27, the full moon will pass through the shadow of the Earth. For 103 minutes, the usually silvery moon will turn blood red and ochre. It will be the longest “blood moon” lunar eclipse of the century, lasting 26 minutes longer than the last total lunar eclipse, in January.

Here’s the good news: The vast majority of people on planet Earth will be able to see this lunar eclipse.

Here’s the less good news: Those of us in North America (save for a slice of Newfoundland, Canada) will not see it at all.

Sadly, by the time night falls in North America and the full moon rises here, the eclipse will already have ended. The moon will have finished traversing Earth’s shadow, or umbra. We’ll have to wait until January 21, 2019, when the next full lunar eclipse will be viewable here.

If you’re lucky enough to live within the viewing path of this eclipse, you should really get outside and enjoy it.
