All You Need To Know About The Longest Lunar Eclipse On 27th July 2018
Tomorrow is the day when the world would witness the longest lunar eclipse and the celestial lovers are in for a treat as a lunar eclipse will appear in the sky on the night of July 27. It is when the moon will move into the shadow of the earth for the century's longest lunar eclipse.
According to NASA, the total lunar eclipse will last for 1 hour and 42 minutes and a partial eclipse that precedes and follows for a duration of 3 hour and 54 minutes.

The eclipse will be visible from across the world, except North America. It will be visible from India for a duration of 1 hour 42 minutes. Some parts of north-east India may not be able to see the entire lunar eclipse. On the same day, the world will also witness a natural phenomenon called the Blood Moon when the moon acquires a reddish hue.
On January 31, 2018, the world witnessed its first lunar eclipse of the year, the Super Blue Blood Moon, when the moon appeared red in colour and bigger in size. It was the first time in 152 years when the three phenomenon - a super moon, a blue moon and a blood moon - coincided.
