OUTER SPACE (WKZO) — The last in a celestial series will take place in prime time Sunday night, astronomers say it will be ‘super’ if there are no clouds.
Maybe a few of those whispy thin clouds may add to the overall creepiness of the Blood Moon that will arrive Sunday night.
The moon just happens to be in the part of its elliptical orbit when it is closest to the earth, making it a Super Moon, it’s the first of the fall making it a Harvest Moon and once it is in complete eclipse, it will become a “Blood Moon” making it a Super Harvest Blood Moon.
It will begin at around 8 p.m. Sunday when the Earth’s shadow begins to creep across the lunar surface; will reach the peak at around ten, when it will take on a ghastly orange hue in full eclipse, and then end in time for bed.
It won’t happen again until 2033, so it’s a show you may want to catch it, weather permitting.
It’s the last of four lunar eclipses that began in April of last year that astronomers call a tetrad, and this may be the most spectacular, weather permitting.
The forecasters aren’t too optimistic it will be clear enough to see here in West Michigan.
