"Three decades have passed since the last time Earth was witness to the triple crown of lunar events — a full moon, a lunar eclipse, and a lunar perigee all at the same time — and now people in north America will be able to see a “supermoon eclipse” this weekend. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth comes between the full moon and the sun. Although completely in the Earth’s shadow, the moon still receives a bit of reddish sunlight. Unlike a solar eclipse, there’s no special equipment needed to view it. A supermoon is when the moon is in perigee, or the closest point to the Earth it will reach. Sunday’s moon will be about 14% larger than normal, according to NASA. There have only been five times since 1900 where the supermoon has coincided with a total lunar eclipse— and the next won’t happen for another 18 years. Begin looking to the moon around 8 p.m. EDT on Sunday Sept 27, with the total eclipse setting in around 10 p.m. But if there’s cloud cover or you’re unable to get to a clear patch of sky then a livestream will be on TIME.com, hosted by Slooh. The stream will be hosted by Paul Cox and Bob Berman."

A spectrum of lunar events will occur Sunday evening in an
event that won't happen for another 18 years. A lunar eclipse will coincide
with a supermoon on Sept. 27 at 9:07 p.m. EDT. As the moon will be in its
closest proximity to Earth, it will appear up to 14 percent larger. This
supermoon, also called a harvest moon due to its occurrence falling at the
beginning of the autumn season, will have an extra characteristic.
Known as a blood moon, the moon will pass behind behind the
Earth into its shadow, resulting in a red tint across its surface.
TIME will be livestreaming Sunday's lunar eclipse
