No issues expected for Super Blood Moon

It will be a sight to see, if we can see it in north Georgia! You can use this guide to know when the eclipse will start in your city.

This is the last total lunar eclipse visible anywhere on Earth until 2018, according to Sky and Telescope magazine. What is uncommon is for a total lunar eclipse to coincide with a Supermoon.

To watch the lunar eclipse, it’s easy: Go outside and look up. The only issue in the Tennessee Valley is whether you’ll be able to see it. Cloud cover from a departing weather disturbance may obscure local viewing.

The September 27 event is therefore being called a “supermoon eclipse”.

“Here we have had four total lunar eclipses in a row on Passover and Tabernacles”, he said. But don’t be fooled (and don’t let those in your social feeds attempt to fool anyone else).

So, what does a Supermoon really mean?

The last time this happened was in 1982. During an eclipse, some light from the sun gets through the Earth’s atmosphere and is bent toward the moon. You probably won’t see anything yet. That’s not to say that 14 percent is a completely worthless figure, but it’s hardly something most people would describe as “super”.

What’s actually happening is a confluence of three things. This will make the moon look slightly larger and brighter, though you’ll be hard pressed to notice the subtle difference. But please refrain from posting all your “supermoon” pics to social media and insisting that everyone be impressed with it as well. The penumbra is a much fainter shadow – part of the sunlight still falls directly on the Moon.

It’s also no cause for concern, despite the ancient Incans and Mesopotamians believing the moon to be under attack during a lunar eclipse.

This dramatic full moon next to the scaffold-shrouded U.S. Capitol was taken on July 31, 2015 in Washington. The full Harvest moon is also a Super Moon. In this creative treatment of a partial solar eclipse, 12-year-old Alex Frye checks his protective viewing glasses from a highway overpass in Arlington, Virginia on October 23, 2014.

3) Blood Moon. After all, their coincidence with Jewish holidays is logical, since the Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar, and some tetrads’ occurrence in significant historical years is an example of confirmation bias – looking for connections that fit preconceived notions.

NASA planetary scientist Noah Petro is hoping the celestial event will ignite more interest in the moon.
