      Explanation: A photographer in silhouette stands in bright moonlight as   
      the Full Moon rises in this well-planned telephoto image. Of course,   
      the Full Moon is normally the brightest lunar phase. But on November   
      18/19, the Full Moon's light will be dimmed during a deep partial lunar   
      eclipse seen across much of planet Earth. At maximum eclipse only a few   
      percent of the lunar disk's diameter should remain outside the Earth's   
      dark umbral shadow when the Moon slides close to the shadow's southern   
      edge. Near apogee, the farthest point in its orbit, the Moon's motion   
      will be slow. That should make this second lunar eclipse of 2021 an   
      exceptionally long partial lunar eclipse. For most of North America the   
      eclipse partial phases will be visible in predawn hours. Since eclipses   
      tend to come in pairs, this lunar eclipse will be followed by a solar   
      eclipse in two weeks on December 4.
