The longest lunar eclipse in nearly 11 years!


Skywatchers in parts of Europe, Africa, Central Asia and Australia have been observing the longest full lunar eclipse in nearly 11 years.
It occurs when the Earth casts a shadow over the Moon but indirect sunlight can still illuminate the surface turning it a dramatic shade of red.
