Get Ready For The Total Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth’s shadow. This can occur only when the Moon is full, and when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so.
According to NASA, the event begins 54 minutes past midnight PDT (3:54 a.m. EDT) on August 28 and this eclipse will be the deepest and longest in 7 years. The longest possible duration for the total phase is 107 minutes, and last occurred in July 2000.
