here is an event I will not miss,
on July 27 at about 105 minutes duration, dependent on where you are, there will be the longest lunar eclipse of the century, the cause is the same reason that lunar eclipses
don’t occur every full moon: The moon’s orbital plane moves up and down, this
time around, the moon will pass near the darkest part of Earth’s shadow—if you
imagine the shadow as a big circle, the moon’s path will nearly cut the circle
in half, it is guaranteed to be memorable, and eclipse fever is already taking
hold, just not in North America, as you can see from this map, the eclipse will
be visible to most people in the world, with the US, Canada, and Mexico
particularly excluded, the black areas in the map are where you will not see the eclipse, but have no fear, the US will be able to see an eclipse
on January 21, 2019.
