WTN- On July 27 we will be treated to the 21st century's longest lunar eclipse. Nicknamed a Blood Moon due to the ruddy light cast by Earth's shadow, the totality (moment of complete eclipse) will last an astounding 1 hour and 43 minutes.

Not only will it turn red as it passes through Earth’s shadow this Friday.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon. Earth’s shadow moves over the moon, blocking the sunlight that ordinarily reflects off its surface and giving it a reddish glow.
