The Longest Total Lunar Eclipse of the 21st Century

A total lunar eclipse will occur on July 27, 2018. The Moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. This will be the first central lunar eclipse since June 15, 2011.

Since it will occur near apogee, this eclipse will also be the longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century and that will give us the smallest apparent full moon size of 2018. Totality will last approximately 103 minutes. This eclipse will be the second total lunar eclipse in 2018, after the one in January.

Meanwhile, a total lunar eclipse will be visible from Africa, the Middle East, India, and western Australia. Eastern Australia and Southeast Asia will see a portion of the eclipse before the moon sets and morning twilight arrives, while in Europe and Eastern South America the eclipse will already be in progress when the moon rises. North America will not see any of this eclipse. Maximum eclipse occurs just east of Madagascar at 20:22 UT.

The moon will cross just north of the center of the Earth's darker umbral shadow, setting up conditions for an extra long and very dark eclipsed moon. At greatest eclipse, the moon will be sitting a palm's width north of Mars — that's two reddish objects for the price of one!

YOWIE SPOTTED IN LONDON!

Frank LakeJuly 4, 2018

A Yowie, a big hairy beast, has been spotted roaming the streets of London.

The latest sightings took place just north of Camden Town in London.

Hundreds of witnesses have seen the beast strolling around London. One resident saw the creature jumping a barbed wire paddock fence before briefly pausing at the edge of a road..

The Yowie raised his arm to apparently shield its eyes from the bright high beam glare of the approaching car.

"I would have seen it for between 20 and 30 seconds," the witness recalled.

"It was really moving at the time. It leapt the fence no problem.

"All I can remember was seeing this large black object with a solid build, lanky legs and long lanky arms.

"It wasn't clothed … it wasn't wearing clothes like a human."

Witnesses say the creature runs with a fast, stooped pace. It has high shoulders and almost no neck and a small head.

"It's like its head was shrunken into its shoulders," he said.

The Yowie hasn't been seen in London in over five decades. The last time Londoners saw the Yowie, the Beatles were just becoming famous.

Many in England are speculating as to why the Yowie has returned to London. Sources in the government say that it probably has something to do with Climate Change.

"I believe that the Yowie is being driven out of the forests by Climate Change. This is another reason why we must tackle this issue now," said Prince Charles.
