rainman + 263 July 27, 2018 The longest total lunar eclipse of the century is set to dazzle most of the world, except the U.S., just shy of a year after the 2017 solar eclipse created a path of totality across America. The July 2018 eclipse — which is happening on Friday, July 27 — will last about four hours and be visible across wide swaths of the world including Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South America and the Middle East. The totality, or when the earth’s shadow covers the moon and creates complete darkness, will last one hour and 43 minutes. While many people will be able to see partial views of the eclipse — which will feature a blood moon and also coincides with spectacular views of Mars — in areas throughout eastern Africa, the Middle East and some parts of Europe and Asia will have some of the best views of the moon turning red and when the totality begins to recede, astronomers tell TIME. The “blood moon” will be a much different view than the 2017 solar eclipse, which darkened the skies for a few minutes as the moon passed in front of the sun.

franco + 96 FM July 27, 2018 A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun light - a lunar eclipse is when the sun blocks the moon light - they are the same size in the sky 😎 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You want to do that with your hair all disheveled and your arms raised straight out, preferably with no clothes on. That should keep the neighbors from bothering you for another year. And they will be crossing the street when you go out for an evening stroll, leaves you the sidewalk. Very convenient. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
