It will be on desperation for those in North America since they were not lucky to witness this 100 minutes Full Lunar Eclipse on June 15, 2011.Star gazers and sky watchers on every other continent, however, will experience a total lunar eclipse on June 15th. Moon will spend 100 minutes fully engulfed in Earth’s shadow, making it the longest lunar eclipse in almost 11 years.
In Mexico it is belief that exposure of a pregnant woman to an eclipse will cause her infant to have a cleft lip or palate. The belief originated with the Aztecs, who thought that an eclipse occurred because a crunch had been taken out of the moon. Lunar eclipses are safe to watch with the naked eye, unlike solar eclipses.
Last year the lunar eclipse occurred on December of 2010, making it known as the lunar eclipse of Solstice. Now this lunar eclipse on June 15 will fall under Full Strawberry Moon because it was universal to every Algonquin tribe relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June . . . so the full Moon that occurs during that month was christened for the strawberry; However, in Europe called it the Rose Moon also because the rose blooms on their regions.
