On the night of Sept. 7-8, Australia, Asia, Africa and parts of Europe will get a spectacular view of all phases of a "blood moon" total lunar eclipse.
During the event, which will last about five hours, the full Corn Moon will move through Earth's shadow in space. It will gradually be engulfed by that shadow, taking on a copper-reddish color — hence the name "blood moon" — for 82 minutes, making it the longest total lunar eclipse since 2022.
