The year's second total lunar eclipse is coming up fast, and this time Asia will have the best seats in the cosmos. Earth's shadow will obscure this weekend's full moon as the home planet lines up perfectly between the moon and sun. Totality will last a lengthy one hour and 22 minutes. The shorter total lunar eclipse in March offered prime viewing in the Americas. But the upcoming spectacle unfolds on the opposite side of the world Sunday night and early Monday, local time. The entire eclipse will be visible in Asia, parts of East Africa and western Australia.
