Description: Are you ready for the lunar eclipse? There is a partial lunar eclipse happening in North America this week. It will happen in the early morning hours of November 19th. 2:30am EST to be exact. At this time, Earth's shadow will begin to cover the face of the full moon, turning it red. This partial lunar eclipse will cover 97% of the moon's surface, leaving only a thin sliver of the moon left getting direct sunlight. Oh, and by the way, this is the longest lunar eclipse in the span of about 1000 years. So get your cameras and telescopes ready, folks. This is going to be a good one. #Shorts
