Rare ‚Supermoon‘ Total Lunar Eclipse Coming This Month

The first „supermoon“ lunar eclipse in more than three decades will grace Earth‘s skies this month, as will a partial solar eclipse that most of the world will miss.

The supermoon total lunar eclipse, which occurs on Sept. 27, features a full moon that looks significantly larger and brighter than usual. It will be the first supermoon eclipse since 1982, and the last until 2033, NASA officials said in a newly released video.
