All the sky gazers are in for a treat. Bring out your telescopes, Earth will be immersed deeply inside the umbral shadow of the moon for a whopping 100 minutes! Longest lunar eclipse in the century. The last eclipse is said to last for 40 minutes(July, 2000) and the next wont be till 2018, so this make today's eclipse a rare event.
