Coming soon without precedent for over 30 years: you’ll have the capacity to witness a supermoon in mix with a lunar shroud.

On such a rare occasion, the Planetarium of the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) in Ate is inviting the public to view the lunar eclipse on Sunday, September 27. The total eclipse will start at 10:11 p.m. EDT (0211 GMT), and it will last 72 minutes.

There are going to be odd , wonderful things happening in the night sky at the end of this month, according to Nasa. Not a fledgling, not a plane, it’s a supermoon! Although this incarnation of the moon comes around only once every year, it’s not as mysterious as you might think.

It was a discovery that would have not been possible if it weren’t for the LRO, said John Keller, the satellite’s Project Scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The occurrence of “shallow moonquakes” when the moon is farthest from Earth in its orbit would be more frequent if this were the case- a hypothesis scientists are able to test with a long-lived lunar seismic network.

The Supermoon lunar eclipse will be visible from most regions around the Earth, except for Asia. As a result, perigee full moons, also known as supermoons, appear about 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter in the sky than do apogee full moons (which are also called minimoons).

The unusual events won’t actually make any difference to life on Earth, or on the moon itself. “It just appears slightly bigger in the sky”.

The Earth will experience one of the most spectacular celestial events on September 27 as a supermoon or “blood moon” will take place with the fourth lunar eclipse in two years known as “tetrad” to coincide with important Jewish holy days.

The Moon is slowly receding away from Earth and forces build as the Moon’s tidal distortion diminishes with distance and its rotation period slows with time. “It’s not dramatic, but it does look larger”.

Before humanity had developed systems for predicting the movement of the objects in our galaxy, civilisations such as the Incans and Mesopotamians saw eclipses as unpredictable and terrifying events. Petro said it’s just a matter of knowing where Earth, the sun and the moon are at a given point in time. To get four blood moons you need something absolutely extraordinary in astrological terms.

The last time this happened was 1982, and it won’t happen again until 2033. “That’s rare because it’s something an entire generation may not have seen”, said Petro.
