The first total lunar eclipse in 2011 will take place on Wednesday, which is one of the longest eclipses of the moon and will last just over 100 minutes, the duration of which rivals only three other eclipses in the last 100 years.

A total lunar eclipse on Wednesday is expected to last 100 minutes, according to NASA. An eclipse of that length is extremely rare because it takes a precise alignment of the earth and the moon to block the sunlight for that long.

This coming Wednesday, most regions of the earth are expected to experience the longest total lunar eclipse since July 2000.
