(Reuters) – The longest partial lunar eclipse in a millennium dazzled night skies around the world this Friday in an event called the “Blood Moon” for its red haze.
The partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours, 28 minutes and 23 seconds, is the longest since February 18, 1440, according to NASA.
Impressive images of the partial lunar eclipse could be seen in parts of the United States, Asia and South America.
During the eclipse, up to 99.1% of the lunar disk was within the darkest shadow on Earth, NASA said.
Couldn’t see? Now only in 2669 will another partial lunar eclipse be longer than this one. However, there will be a longer total lunar eclipse in November next year.
