Total lunar eclipse
A full moon rises behind the ancient temple of Poseidon in cape Sounio, south of Athens. The complete lunar eclipse Friday when the sun, Earth and moon line up perfectly to cast Earth’s shadow on the moon, will be the longest this century. It’s called a “blood moon” because it turns a deep red and will be visible at different times around the world.
The eclipse will be visible mainly in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia, as well as some parts of South America.
