Lunar eclipse visible from Dominica on Friday

The longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century is set to happen Friday and it will be slightly visible from Dominica.

The July 27, 2018, lunar eclipse will put the moon fully in Earth’s shadow for 1 hour, 42 minutes, and 57 seconds.

That’s almost as long as the longest lunar eclipse ever, which came in at an hour and 47 minutes.

Those in North America will not be able to see the eclipse since it will occur in the daytime but will be visible in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, and the Middle East.

In Dominica, a penumbral lunar eclipse will be seen. The penumbra is the partial outer shadow of the earth on the moon.

From Dominica, the eclipse will last approximately 51 minutes.

It will begin at 18:38 AST, peak at 18:51 AST and ends at 19:28 AST.

See videos below.

    Is it a coincidence that it falls right over the middle east? Yes he is superstitious. The longest of the 21st century. I don’t know when mu God will come but he asked us to watch and pray. One thing i know for certain is that we are not ready for His coming.
    Let us humble ourselves before Him for it is by His grace and mercy that we live from day to day.
    Glory to God!

    This is a sign of the death of the labor party and the dawn of a new prosperous era under the credible workers party. Even nature is talking to us. Skeritt’s backside is about to get eclipsed from office
