A Rare Lunar Eclipse Is Happening Soon & These Airbnbs In BC Are In A Prime Spot To See It

It'll be another 648 years before there's a longer partial eclipse than this one!

An incredibly rare lunar eclipse is happening all over Canada soon — and we've picked out some of the Airbnbs around B.C. which would be perfect stargazing locations.

On November 18 through into the early hours of the morning on November 19, the full moon will pass through Earth's shadow, causing a partial lunar eclipse and turning the moon red.

It will last three hours, 28 minutes and 24 seconds, which is the longest event of its kind in 581 years. Plus, the next time a longer partial lunar eclipse will happen is another 648 years away.
