This phenomenon is expected to last for approximately 3 hours and 28 minutes, making it one of the longest lunar eclipses in recent years.
Photographers and astronomy enthusiasts are preparing for the event, with many planning to capture the striking visuals of the Blood Moon. The New York Times has already started a collection of anticipated images, showcasing the preparation and excitement around this natural spectacle.
