November 1957 lunar eclipse


A total lunar eclipse took place on Thursday, November 7, 1957. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 27 minutes and 54 seconds. With the Moon just 3% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 27 minutes in total.
