The night of September 27-28 will showcase a lunar eclipse coupled with a “supermoon”: a full moon that appears larger because it’s at perigee, the closest point of its orbit with Earth. The concurrence is relatively rare, having not happened since 1982.Though some observers are viewing the date with fear — calling the eclipse a “blood moon” — for astronomers and stargazers, the event is to be welcomed with celebration.
“It’s a beautiful sight in the nighttime sky,” said Mark Hammergren, an astronomer at Chicago’s Adler Planetarium. “It’s a way of connecting us to the universe at large. It gives us this view that there’s a bigger picture than just what we’re concerned with in our daily lives.”
