Longest Lunar Eclipse Tonight

 

NASA reports that a "nearly total" lunar eclipse is expected
overnight Thursday, November 18th into Friday, November 19th.

According to Space.com tonight's lunar eclipse will be the longest
in centuries as it will last 3 hours, 28 minutes, and 23 seconds!

Only a small sliver of the moon will be visible during the eclipse
and the moon will appear to be a reddish brown color as it slips
 into the shadow of the earth.

Hope the skies are clear where you're at for this spectacular celestial event!
