According to Indiana's Holcomb Observatory, this time the partial eclipse phase will last 3 hours, 28 minutes, and 24 seconds, and the full eclipse for 6 hours and 1 minute, making it the longest partial eclipse in 580 years.
Sky observers will get a view of a subtly changing moon, which may even take on a reddish hue. This will also be the last lunar eclipse of the year.
The US, Northern Europe, East Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Ocean region will also experience the lunar eclipse. This partial lunar eclipse will be the second and final lunar eclipse of 2021.
