I can say that I am one of the luckiest people who were able to witnessed the magnificent Total Lunar Eclipse. It occured earlier, June 16, 2011 from 3:30am to 5:10am. Indeed, it's the LONGEST TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE since 2000. That's why I salute these people, including myself of course, who ignored the call of bed, the bad company of mosquitoes, the so-called beauty rest, and the required 8 hours of sleep, just to witness this event.
The moon passed directly through the center of the Earth's shadow cone and this event also hasn't happened in 11 years and won't happen again until 2018.
I'm lucky to see it for the first time and it's really worth the wait :)
