The Last Red Moon Of The Year Will Also Be The First Super Lunar Eclipse In 33 Years

This will take place on Sunday, September 27th

WORLD.- Mark your calendars, because Sunday, September 27th will be a day to remember (and/or schedule), especially if you're a fan of astronomical phenomena. On the night of the 27th, you'll be able to experience the second lunar eclipse of the year closing a cycle of Red Moons (Red Crescents) that started on April, 2014.

Thus, this will be a double spectacle due to the fact that two phenomena will occur at the same time: On one side, will have the "Blood Moon" appearance and on the other, this natural satellite will be the nearest to Earth in a long time.

Our natural satellite will be seen 14% bigger than its normal size, 30% brighter as well as red. This combo is known as a "super lunar eclipse", the last time it occurred was in 1982. Since 1900, there have only been 5 super lunar eclipses and the next one will occur in 2033.

South America will be able to see this phenomenon completely, as well as great parts of Center and North America, if the weather permits. In Mexico's case, this will start at 8:00 p.m. (Mexico City time) and it will surely be worth to try and catch it.
