The longest partial lunar eclipse in years is here
This is the perfect activity for early morning stargazers.
This time, viewers can expect to see the moon turn red and about 99.1% of the moon will be in the Earth's umbra, according to NASA.
NASA said the best way to see the eclipse is with binoculars or a telescope to bring out the color, but you can also go outside and just look up.
The longest total eclipse will take place on Nov. 8, 2022.
