The longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century is just a month away. The total phase of the "blood moon" eclipse of July 27 will last 1 hour and 43 minutes, during which Earth's natural satellite will turn a spectacular red or ruddy-brown color. From start to finish, the entire celestial event will last nearly 4 hours. The eclipse won't be visible to viewers in North America, except via webcasts.
