The total eclipse will take place from 3:30 a.m. to 5:14 a.m. Beijing time on July 28. Compared with the "total eclipse of the moon" which occurred in the first half of the night on January 31 this year, the total eclipse will last for 1 hour and 44 minutes, longer than the total eclipse at the end of January. However, since the total eclipse started in the middle of the night, only the western part of China can see the whole process of it, while people in the eastern part of China can watch the 'eclipse with the moon'.

The total eclipse will take place from 3:30 a.m. to 5:14 a.m. Beijing time on July 28. Compared with the "total eclipse of the moon" which occurred in the first half of the night on January 31 this year, the total eclipse will last for 1 hour and 44 minutes, longer than the total eclipse at the end of January.

Total lunar eclipse, an astronomical term, is a kind of lunar eclipse. When the moon, the earth and the sun are in a straight line, the earth is in the middle, and the whole moon enters the shadow of the earth. The surface of the moon turns dark red, forming a total lunar eclipse.
Total eclipse process:
The process of total lunar eclipse can be divided into five stages: initial loss, food, food, light and recovery.
Initial loss: the moon just touched the earth's umbra, marking the beginning of the eclipse.
Shi Ji: the western edge of the moon is tangent to the western edge of the earth's umbra, and the moon just enters the earth's umbra.
What to eat: the center of the moon is closest to the center of the earth's umbra.
Light generation: the eastern edge of the moon is tangent to the eastern edge of the earth's umbra, when the total eclipse phase ends.
Roundabout: the western edge of the moon is tangent to the eastern edge of the earth's umbra. At this time, the whole process of eclipse ends. The extent to which the moon is being eaten is called 'eclipse score'
The total eclipse of the moon, which is equal to the ratio of the longest distance between the moon's natural shadow and the moon's apparent longitude when the moon's rim reaches the earth.
