Dubai is ready to witness a total lunar eclipse on the night of July 27, said a Dubai observatory. During the eclipse, the moon will enter the shadow of the earth for about four hours, and the event will be seen clearly across at least three continents, officials said.
According to the Dubai Astronomy Group, the eclipse will last about an hour and 43 minutes, the longest of the century, and will also feature a "blood moon".
"Blood Moon" is an unscientific term used to refer to the red hue on a completely eclipsed moon. [19659006] The total duration of the partial phases is 2 hours and 12 minutes (22:24 to 02:19). The duration of the complete eclipse is 1 hour and 43 minutes (from 23:30 to 01:13).
The appearance of March will be the second brightest of the last 60,000 years, according to the observatory.
The Dubai Astronomy Group will set up an integrated event for lunar and march events.
