Which region in Vietnam can see the longest eclipse of the century?

In the North, it is impossible to observe the lunar eclipse because there is rain, the Southern region is an ideal area to admire.

In the morning of July 28, Vietnamese people had the opportunity to observe the lunar eclipse lasting more than 5 hours, from 00h14 to 6h28, during which the total lunar eclipse began from 2:30 am to 4:30 pm.

However, not all parts of the country are convenient to monitor the phenomenon. According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the North and North Central Region are likely to rain heavily on the night of 27th and 28th July, so astronomers cannot witness the lunar eclipse from 0h to 6h30.

The condition is less cloudy, not rain only in the provinces from Thua Thien Hue to Southern Vietnam. This will be the ideal area to see the longest eclipse of the century.

Astronomical experts recommend that viewers can use the naked eye to observe the lunar eclipse, but if more devices such as binoculars, telescopes or cameras will become more interesting.

This is the second full lunar eclipse in the year, the last time was January 31. After this event, in May 2021 and November 2022, astronomers will be able to witness it.
