SUPERMOON PLUS ECLIPSE EQUALS RARE SKY SHOW THIS WEEKEND
A total lunar eclipse will share the stage with a supermoon Sunday night, 27 September, 2015, or early Monday, depending where you are. That combination hasn’t been seen since 1982 and won’t happen again until 2033. When a full or new moon makes its closest approach to Earth, that’s a supermoon. Although still about 220,000 miles away, this full moon will look bigger and brighter than usual. In fact, it will be the closest full moon of the year, about 30,000 miles nearer than the average distance. The full eclipse of the moon will last more than an hour and be visible, weather permitting, from North and South America, Europe, Africa and western Asia. Showtime on the USA East Coast is 10:11PM, EDT; that’s when the moon, Earth and sun will be lined up, with Earth’s shadow totally obscuring the moon. In Europe, the action will unfold before dawn Monday, 28 September, 2015. There won’t be another total lunar eclipse until 2018. (CNN)
