Last night, the longest partial lunar eclipse in nearly 600 years dazzled Canadian skies.

According to NASA, the eclipse lasted a staggering three hours, 28 minutes, and 23 seconds. At its peak, 98% of the moon was enveloped by the earth’s shadow.

Our natural satellite took on a faint, coppery glow that, combined with the uneclipsed sliver of yellow, created a breathtaking “Japanese Lantern Effect.”

If you missed the celestial spectacle, you’re out of luck for quite some time: the next time a lunar eclipse will surpass the length of last night is on February 9, 2669.

Luckily for those who chose a good night’s sleep over a bit of moon-gazing, Canadians were out in full force to capture last night’s partial lunar eclipse.

Check out some of the best shots of the night below.
