The UAE will bear witness to a total lunar eclipse which will stun the senses next month. 

The longest "blood moon" lunar eclipse of the century will take place for nearly 103 minutes.

On July 27, at 9:14pm UAE local time, the moon will enter into the eclipse phase and continue for five hours until 2:19am. 

This as related by Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Deputy Director of the Sharjah Centre for Space and Astronomy.    

Totality will occur from 11:30pm until 1:30am for 103 minutes. 

The peak eclipse time will take place at 12:21am. 

The blood moon will be visible in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand but excluding America.

The last eclipse had taken place on January 31, a super rare blue blood moon that combined three lunar phenomena - supermoon, blue moon and blood moon.
