The total lunar eclipse taking place on Wesnesday, June 15 (2011) is considered the most beautiful and the longest eclipses of the moon in the past 11 years that people have not seen in a decade long. The fantastic lunar eclipse, which lasted three hours and 40 minutes, was visible almost over 100 minutes in many parts of the world from Asia to Europe and Africa. The beautiful and rare moment was seen first by people in Australia, Singapore and India. The most spectacular part of lunar eclipse is when the moon turns into orange or reddish hue thanks to the Sun ray passing through Earth’s atmosphere. The most recent longest total lunar eclipse lasted 107 minutes in 2000 and the next one will not occur until 2018.
