On July 27, the Moon reaches apogee - the farthest point from Earth - which causes a decrease in orbital speed, lengthening the duration of the total lunar eclipse. How long each time the phenomenon happens is influenced by the relative distances between the Earth, the moon and the sun. The phenomenon will also be visible in most parts of Australia, Africa, Europe, Asia and South America.Ī total lunar eclipse is a condition when the Earth's shadow blocks out the light rays of the sun directly reflecting on the moon, which results in a dull red moon because the sunlight that the moon receives has been refracted by the atmosphere of the Earth. On Saturday, July 28, people across Vietnam will have the chance to witness the longest total lunar eclipse in the 21 st century - which will last for 103 minutes, VnExpress reports.
