This coming Sunday will be one for the record books for having a Supermoon and a Lunar Eclipse.  This has not happened since 1982 and will not happen again until 2033.  On Sunday night at 10:11 pm, people watching in  eastern North America will be able to watch the entire event until 11:23 pm that night.  Make sure you mark your calendars and spread the word to your family and students to watch this awesome feature.  

This would be a great opportunity to show the video below to your students as it is such a rare phenomenon.  In order for this to happen, there must be three things that align.
  • There must be a full moon.
  • There must be a lunar eclipse, which is where the moon is completely covered by the shadow of the earth.
  • There must be a lunar perigee, which is when the moon is at its closest point to earth in its orbit.
Check out the video below for a better visual display.
