I’d expected to see maybe half or 3/4 of the moon covered, but here in SoCal, there was just a tiny sliver of the left edge that was uncovered - almost a total eclipse. Someone said it was during the reign of Henry VI that this type of eclipse was last seen, although I’m not sure what that means.
Someone said the other day it was the longest lunar eclipse in 600 years, which would put it back to Henry VI (reigned 1422-1460 and 1470-71), but I’m not sure how accurate that claim was. It occurred when the moon was near apogee so it was moving more slowly in its orbit causing the eclipse to last longer.
I don't know how many wives Henry VI had, but maybe it means now you can have a few more. Or maybe not.
