RARE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUPER MOON: WH
RARE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUPER MOON:
WHEN (Sunday Evening) –9:07pm: Partial eclipse begins –10:11pm: Full eclipse begins –11:23pm: Full eclipse ends –12:27am: Partial eclipse ends
WHERE: –East coast of the US (including Florida) will have prime viewing of the entire eclipse. West coast will see the end of the eclipse.
WEATHER: –Tampa Bay Area will be mostly cloudy. Totality (when the moon is “blood red”) lasts for over an hour. So, we will hopefully get a break during that time.
WHY SO SPECIAL: –This lunar eclipse coincides with the moon’s perigee (aka. super moon). This is the moon’s closest approach to Earth of the entire year. As a result, the moon will appear up to 14% larger than usual. The super moon has only coincided with an eclipse 5 times since 1900 and won’t happen again until 2033 http://ow.ly/i/djwMn
