A partial lunar eclipse is coming this week, and it’s expected to turn the full moon of November 2021 into a reddish-orange color for more than an hour, according to astronomy experts, who sometimes refer to this sky spectacle as a “blood moon.”
Although people all across the eastern United States will have an opportunity to see the eclipse — which experts say will be the longest lunar eclipse in centuries — they will have to wake up early to get a view.
The partial eclipse will occur during the pre-dawn hours on Friday, Nov. 19, when the so-called “beaver moon” will be reaching its fullest phase — shortly before 4 a.m. Eastern time — and the Earth will be positioned between the sun and the moon.
