All of North America will get a shot at viewing an almost total lunar eclipse (99.1 percent) this evening.
The best viewing will be around the peak of the eclipse early morning on Nov. 19 at 1:03 a.m. PT. At the peak, the moon may appear red, caused by the same light-atmospheric phenomenon that makes our sunrises and sunsets red.
Check it out if you can. It is the longest partial lunar eclipse (3 hours, 28 minutes and 23 seconds) since Feb. 18, 1440 — and probably won’t happen again at this length for another 648 years, according to NASA.
But the good news is next year there will be a longer true total lunar eclipse. Mark your calendars for Nov. 8, 2022, says NASA.
