A total lunar eclipse will take place on September 27, 2015. It is the latter of two total lunar eclipses in 2015, and the final in a tetrad (four total lunar eclipses in series).

Hmm that's awesome!

I'm excited! Should be good viewing!

Cool info. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the reminder. I had all but forgotten about this event. Looking forward to it.

Blood Moon.

Thanks!

1 Week away!

With the huge supermoon lunar eclipse just one week away, it's time to dust off your small telescopes and binoculars, track down an observatory event or webcast, or draft your invitations for a moon-cake party. Don't wait too long — if you miss it, the next one isn't until 2033.
The supermoon lunar eclipse of 2015 will occur Sunday, Sept. 27, and is a confluence of three events : a full moon; a lunar eclipse, in which the Earth blocks the sun's light from hitting the moon; and lunar perigee, when the moon is in the closest part of its orbit to Earth. The last time such a confluence happened was in 1982; there were just five instances of it in the 20th century. This time around, viewers looking from the Americas, Europe, Africa, western Asia and the eastern Pacific Ocean will have a chance to see the show.

I'm a little confused. Are they saying the next Lunar Eclipse will be in 2033, or the next time a Lunar Eclipse like this one, will be 2033? Either way, my 5 year old will be 23 the next time it happens! I'm working on getting him excited.

Next lunar eclipse like this one, will be in 2033. Last one was in 1982.

I'm hoping I remember this. I feel like I'm going to forget the night of.

Set a reminder on your phone!

I hope everyone will post their pics!

Cool, hope I remember as well. I saw the last eclipse, but not much of it, cause it was very early in the morning.

Cool thing about this one is that it is in the early evening.

Hoping that it won't be cloudy. Looking forward to it.

I am a volunteer with our local astronomy society and we are planning an event for the public to view through telescopes.

If you want to see it through a telescope, contact your local astronomy club and see if they are having an event.

Projections say it'll be cloudy here. Here's hoping that's wrong!

It's shaping up to rain all weekend here. I'm crossing my fingers that it will clear by late Sunday night.

A lot of the clouds from that system hitting Ed are settled in here several hundred miles north, and I'm really hoping they clear out by tomorrow night. Total Eclipse. Super Moon. Blood Moon.

I have my sacrifice to the moon god pretty much set for 9PM, but I could still use an extra chicken and a goat.
