Yesterday, November 19, the inhabitants of the Earth became witnesses of an epoch-making astronomical event - the longest partial lunar eclipse in the last fifty thousand years. This has not happened since 1440.
It can be called an "almost total" lunar eclipse, since almost the entire Moon went into the shadow of the Earth, and most of the lunar disk acquired a reddish hue.
Our distant descendants will be able to see such an eclipse the next time, since it will occur in 2.
A partial lunar eclipse could be observed from America, Northern Europe, East Asia and Australia.
The natural phenomenon lasted 3 hours and 28 minutes.
