Sunday, September 27, 2015

The fourth and final lunar eclipse in an ongoing tetrad four lunar eclipses in a row happens on September 27-28, 2015. Some call it a Blood Moon. As with all lunar eclipses, the region of visibility for Sunday's blood-moon lunar eclipse will be seen more than half of our world. Nearly 1 billion people in the Western Hemisphere, nearly 1.5 billion throughout much of Europe and Africa and perhaps another 500 million in western Asia will be able to watch as the Harvest Full Moon becomes a shadow of its former condition and morphs into a glowing coppery ball.


The harvest moon lunar eclipse can be watched  live in a webcast by the Slooh Community Observatory. The total lunar eclipse can also be watched on Space.com, courtesy of Slooh. The lunar eclipse will also present the "biggest" full moon ( in apparent size) of 2015.
