Blood Moon dazzles star gazers in longest lunar eclipse of 21st centuryBy Baz Ratner and Cecilie Kallestrup NAIROBI (Reuters) - A blood-red moon dazzled star gazers across much of the world on Friday when it moved into Earth's shadow for the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st Century. The total eclipse lasted 1 hour, 42 minutes and 57 seconds, though a partial eclipse preceded and follows, meaning the moon will spend a total of nearly 4 hours in the Earth's umbral shadow, according to NASA. The eclipse will not be visible from North America or most of the Pacific.
