Total Lunar Eclipse

Newspaper current event by VnutZ on 21 August 2007, tagged as space

On August 28th, the Earth will cast its shadow across the moon for a 90 minute total lunar eclipse, the longest in nearly seven years. Despite the moon passing into Earth's shadow, it will not be shrouded in darkness. A total lunar eclipse presents viewers with a reddish hue as the Earth's atmosphere acts as a lens, projecting sunset casted sunlight onto the moon's surface from around the planet's rim. Skywatchers along America's west coast will be in the optimum viewing location to observe totality at roughly fifty-four minutes after midnight. Viewers can calculate the best lunar eclipse viewing times for their locations using the US Naval Observatory's Lunar Eclipse Computer.
