World on Wednesday witnessed the longest lunar eclipse in 11 years, and the first in 2011. It becomes visible to the naked eye in Egypt at around 8:15 am and lasted for 3 hours, 39 minutes and 12 seconds.
American University in Cairo celebrated the eclipse with a puppet show about the importance of the moon and sun for the kids.
