If the weather isn’t cooperating where you are tonight for the rare supermoon lunar eclipse, don’t worry, you can check it out online.
The supermoon and lunar eclipse will coincide on September 27, 2015, for the first time in more than 30 years, and it won’t happen again until 2033, NASA says.
The supermoon eclipse will begin at about 9 p.m. Sunday night in the Eastern time zone.
“Earth’s shadow will begin to dim the supermoon slightly beginning at 8:11 p.m. EDT. A noticeable shadow will begin to fall on the moon at 9:07 p.m., and the total eclipse will start at 10:11 p.m,” NASA says.
It will last one hour and 12 minutes, according to NASA’s scientists.
