The year's first total eclipse of the moon lasts an unusually long time, a rare celestial treat for a majority of the globe, except if you're in the United States and Canada. North America is left out of Wednesday's lunar spectacle, which was visible from start to finish from eastern Africa, central Asia, the Middle East and western Australia. Keen amateur and professional astronomers had a perfect opportunity to view the phenomenon with clear skies in Johannesburg and Tripoli. Observers in Europe missed the first part of the show and eastern Asia and eastern Australia were not able to catch the final stages. Portions of South America will be able to see the moon entirely shrouded. The period when Earth's shadow completely blocks the moon - known as totality, lasts a whopping 1 hour and 40 minutes. The last time the moon was covered for this long was in July 2000.
