Eclipse of the Moon, which is predicted on Friday, November 19, will become the longest since the XV century. It will last about three and a half hours, the press service of the Moscow Planetarium said.
Eclipse will be able to see the inhabitants of Oceania, North and South America, East Asia, Northern Europe and Indonesia.
“It can be called an almost complete lunar eclipse, as almost the entire moon will go into the shadow of the Earth,” said in the Moscow planetarium. – Most of the moon disk will acquire a reddish tint. “
The eclipses of the Sun and the Moon occur every six months. The sun, the earth and the moon are built into one line at this time. If the earth is in the middle, the inhabitants of the planet observe the lunar eclipse.
