This is the longest total lunar eclipse in the 21st century, one hour and 43 minutes, taking place on July 27-28 in various parts of the world. Partial lunar eclipse will occur before and after the total lunar eclipse, lasting 2 hours and 12 minutes. So, from the beginning to the end, the Moon will take three hours and 55 minutes to pass through the shadow of the Earth.
Total lunar eclipses are mainly observed in the eastern hemisphere, including Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. A portion of South America will observe the lunar eclipses as soon as the Sun goes down on July 27. Meanwhile, New Zealand will witness the first periods of the lunar eclipse before the Sun rises on July 28.
Meanwhile, most of Asia, including Vietnam and Australia, can clearly observe the lunar eclipse on the early morning of July 28 (the maximum total lunar eclipse in Vietnam is at 3:21 AM).
Unlike solar eclipses, people do not need special equipment to observe a lunar eclipse. When the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth, it is safe to observe with the naked eyes, telescope or binoculars.
