How long did the total lunar eclipse last? A lunar eclipse unfolds over a longer duration compared to its solar co

A rare blood moon lunar eclipse — which hasn’t happened in the U.S. since 2022 — was visible for skywatchers across most of North and South America, as well as the west side of Africa and Europe, the eastern parts of Australia and Russia and northern Japan.

Starting around 11:30 p.m. Pacific time Thursday and lasting for about an hour, the first total lunar eclipse anywhere in the world since 2022 wowed much of Western Washington and other communities across the United States.
