      How to Watch Longest Lunar Eclipse of This Century as it Take Place on 19th November 2021

      You will get to see the longest lunar eclipse of this century on 19th November 2021 (Kartik Purnima). As Earth will pass between the Sun and Moon, creating a shadow on the Moon’s surface. The near-total lunar eclipse will peak just after 1:30pm IST, when the Earth will hide 97% of the full moon from the Sun’s rays, said NASA.

      During this event, the moon will acquire a reddish hue.

      As it will be visible in some parts of India also.

      Lunar eclipses are visible only in places where the Moon is above the horizon.

      Those in the northeastern states of India, including Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, should be able to see the Longest Lunar Eclipse.

      People in North America will be best place to witness the entire Lunar Eclipse.

      All 50 US states and Mexico will be able to see it.

      As it will also be visible in Australia, East Asia, Northern Europe, and the Pacific Ocean region.

      NASA said the lunar eclipse will last 3 hours, 28 minutes, and 23 seconds, which would be Longest Lunar Eclipse than any other eclipse in 100 years between 2001 and 2100. 

      NASA said that Earth will witness a total of 228 lunar eclipses in the 21st century.

      But during a lunar eclipse, the Moon, Sun, and Earth align in a straight line.

      The Earth blocks the sunlight from reaching the moon and that is why the lunar object appears eaten from Earth.

      During a total lunar eclipse, 100% of the Moon is obscure by the Earth’s cone-shape shadow, known as the umbra.

      The next eclipse will take place on 16th May, 2022.
