The longest partial lunar eclipse in 580 years: Here's what to expect



A blood moon lunar eclipse can be seen in London and the Acacus mountains in the Libyan desert. Richard McManus is the photographer.

All eclipse-watchers! The eclipse will be visible in all 50 states. You can watch the event live on LiveScience.

The moon will be stained red by the Earth's shadow because it will block most of the sun's light. It will be the longest lunar eclipse in over 500 years.

The eclipse of the Micro Beaver Full Moon is expected to last three hours, 28 minutes and 23 seconds. It is due to start at 2:19 a.m. The sun rises at 7:19 a.m. At roughly 4 a.m., it will reach its maximum. The time is 9 a.m. End at 5:47 a.m. The sun rises at 10:47 a.m. The time is UTC. The Micro Beaver Moon is named after it because it occurs at the point when the moon is farthest away from Earth.

There are photos of the Great American Solar Eclipse.

You can find exact times for your location at timeanddate.com. The eclipse will be visible in North America, the Pacific Ocean, Western Europe, eastern Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Eclipse watchers in eastern Asia, Australia and New Zealand will be able to see the eclipse as it reaches its maximum, even though the early stages occur before moonrise. The moon will be set before the eclipse in South America and Western Europe.
If you're in Africa, the Middle East or western Asia, you won't be able to see the eclipse because of the clouds, so you need to check the weather reports.
You can watch the eclipse live at a number of websites, starting at 2 a.m. The time is 7 a.m. The Virtual Telescope Project will be hosted at Live Science.

If you miss the eclipse in person and online, you will have two more chances to see it in November and May of 2022, according to timeanddate.com.
