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.
