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.

Telescope observations reveal a growing tail on the comet that's visiting from another star. Released Thursday, the pictures taken by the Gemini South telescope in Chile are the best yet of the recently discovered comet. They show a wide coma of dust and gas around the ice ball as it speeds closer toward the sun, and also a tail that's more extended than it was in previous shots. The National Space Foundation's NOIRLab says these new images confirm that the comet is becoming more active as it plows harmlessly through our solar system. It's only the third known interstellar object to venture our way.
