Supermoon Total Lunar Eclipse

A total lunar eclipse of a 'supermoon' blood moon will create an unworldly and eerie sight this Sunday night September 27th.  

A Supermoon occurs when the moon reaches its closest approach to Earth, and appears abnormally large and bright as a result. The moon will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter as it reaches its closest point to earth at 225,622 miles. This Sunday's lunar eclipse of the full moon at its closest point to earth is exceptionally rare with the the last supermoon eclipse occurring in 1982. The next supermoon lunar eclipse won't take place until 2033.

Utlimately, The supermoon lunar eclipse is a confluence of three events: a full moon; a lunar eclipse and lunar perigee (moon is in the closest part of its orbit to Earth).  The exceptionally rare event will not happen again until 2033.  The weather into Sunday evening will be clear and dry possibly offering a once in a lifetime view of this celestial event!
