Skywatchers around the world have witnessed the longest "blood moon" eclipse of the 21st Century. The "totality" period, where light from the Moon was totally obscured, lasted for one hour, forty-three minutes.

This is an addition to my Six-Word Couplets that I started back on 6/9/2018. I've been intrigued by the "six-word story," which has gained popularity, including the 2006 Six-Word Memoirs® project. What about a six-word couplet?
Lol. . . Even my simple cover image above has six words!
