Footage Shows Progression of Partial Lunar Eclipse in Indiana

Stargazers in the US marvelled at the night sky in the early hours of November 19 as the longest partial lunar eclipse in hundreds of years began. NASA information about the eclipse says it occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align so the Moon passes into Earth’s shadow. The Moon may appear to turn red as the only sunlight reaching the Moon will have passed through Earth’s atmosphere. The phenomenon ​is also being called a Blood Moon and a Beaver Moon. The event was scheduled to last more than three hours and twenty-eight minutes. NASA said that there hasn’t been a longer partial lunar eclipse since 1440, and there won’t be a longer one until 2669.
