A total lunar eclipse will take place on July 17, 2065. The lunar eclipse will last 1 hour and 37 minutes, and the umbra will completely cover the moon. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red color at maximum eclipse.[1] The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 36 minutes in total. This eclipse will be a central eclipse; this means the center of the umbra will pass on the moon.[2][3]
