AMBOY, CA – JANUARY 31: A so-called ‘super blue blood moon’ is seen in total eclipse above the Mojave Desert on January 31, 2018 near Amboy, California. The ‘Super Blue Blood Moon’ is a rare ‘lunar trifecta’ event in which the Moon is at its closest to the Earth, appearing slightly bigger and about 14 percent brighter than usual, and is simultaneously a ‘blue moon’, the second full moon in the same month, and in total lunar eclipse or ‘blood moon’. Such a lunar event that hasn’t been seen since 1866. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

On the night of July 27, some people will be able to watch the 21st century’s longest lunar eclipse, lasting 1 hour and 43 minutes.
This lunar eclipse will transform the moon into a reddish orange color and the Earth casts a shadow on the moon. For those of us residing in the U.S., the lunar eclipse will start around 1:14 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Pretty neat huh?
