Epress.am News from Armenia
The world witnessed the longest total lunar eclipse in the last 10 years last night.
As previously reported, totality, the event where the Earth’s shadow completely covers the moon, lasted for about an hour and 41 minutes.
A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth lines up directly between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun’s rays and casting a shadow on the moon. As the moon moves deeper and deeper into Earth’s shadow, the moon changes colour before your very eyes, turning from gray to an orange or deep shade of red.
This is how the lunar eclipse yesterday appeared from different cities and countries:
