The total lunar eclipse

 Total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011.

This relatively rare central eclipse - meaning the moon will pass near the center of Earth's shadow - promises to be longer and darker than usual. A similar eclipse will not occur until 2018. This could be one of the more spectacular lunar eclipses for some time!
This was witnessed around 10:54 pm Local time and the total phase itself lasts for 100 minutes said The Arthur C Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies (ACCIMT).
