How long is the Moon's lunar eclipse?
The total part of a lunar eclipse may last from just a few minutes up to about 90 minutes, depending on how exact the alignment of the Earth and Moon are as compared to the Sun. If the Moon goes through the center of the Earth's umbra, or total shadow, then the eclipse will be a long one; if the Moon just barely enters the umbra, then it will emerge in just a few minutes. Any number in between is possible as well. The partial phase of a lunar eclipse can last up to about 3 hours, again depending on how exact the alignment is.
How long does and eclipse last?
The duration of an eclipse varies depending on the type of eclipse and specific circumstances. A total solar eclipse can last up to about 7.5 minutes at its maximum, while a lunar eclipse can last several hours, with the total phase lasting up to about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Partial eclipses and other variations have shorter durations. Overall, the length of an eclipse is influenced by the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.

Most lunar eclipses last how long?
The length of a lunar eclipse depends on how close the Moon is to the Earth, and how exactly the Moon and Earth are lined up with the Sun. Some lunar eclipses only last 20 minutes or so; most last under an hour of "totality", when the Moon is entirely dark. The next good total lunar eclipse will be on December 31, 2010, and the period of totality will last 36 minutes. That eclipse will be clearly visible in most of North America. After than, the next total lunar eclipses will be June 15, 2011, visible from India and eastern Africa, and then on December 10, 2011, visible from Australia, Japan and most of Asia.
Where did the first lunar eclipse come from?
Every Lunar Eclipse comes from the same place, when the sun, moon, and earth are lined up in a straight line. So the first Lunar Eclipse is no different from the others.

When will the next solar or lunar eclipse happen?
There simply is no better site that I'm aware of for this kind of question than NASA's Eclipse site. Go there and look up every eclipse for the next millennium or so, including maps of where it will be visible, how long it will last, any kind of eclipse information you want. It's in the related links section below. You're welcome.
