@The Cosmos News The longest lunar eclipse this century will happen in 2 weeks. Here’s how to see it. The late November moon is also known as the “frost moon.” A near-total lunar eclipse will occur on November 19, with prime visibility in North America. It will last 3 hours and 28 minutes – the longest partial lunar eclipse this century, NASA predicts. Here’s how to see the rare event, when up to 97% of the moon will look red. The longest lunar eclipse of this century comes in two weeks. During the early hours of November 19, Earth will pass between the sun and moon, casting a shadow over the latter. The eclipse will peak just after 4 a.m. ET, when our planet will hide 97% of the full moon from the sun’s light, giving the moon a reddish hue. According to NASA, the partial lunar eclipse will last 3 hours, 28 minutes, and 23 seconds – longer than any other eclipse between 2001 and 2100. Here’s how and when to catch the rare celestial event. People in North America can watch the entire spectacle Lunar eclipses aren’t visible worldwide – only in places where the moon is above the horizon. For the upcoming eclipse, sky watchers in North America have the best seats in the house. People in all 50 US states, Canada, and Mexico can watch the full event. You won’t need a telescope or binoculars – simply go outside and look up at the sky any time between 2:19 a.m. and 5:47 a.m ET. Or if you don’t want to head into the chilly morning air, catch a live stream of the event here. Folks in South America and western Europe will see most of the eclipse, though the moon will set before it ends. People in western Asia and Oceania will miss the earlier part of the event, as the moon will not have risen yet. Those living in Africa and the Middle East won’t see any of the spectacle.
