The night of September 27 is going to offer a rare and unforgettable view to skywatchers. According to astronomers, people from a number of locations of the globe will be able to see a rare red supermoon on September 27.

Officials of the United States space agency NASA have confirmed the supermoon and said the rate event will start at about 8:11 pm. The total eclipse will begin at around 10:11 pm and could last for more than an hour, they added. Since 1982, it will be the first supermoon eclipse. Skywatchers will not be able to see another supermoon eclipse until 2033, according to NASA.

The officials said that the regions from where a total lunar eclipse will be seen are North America, western Asia, South America, Europe, eastern Pacific Ocean and Africa. People from these regions will be able to see the large and bright moon in the night sky of September 27.

After moonrise is the best time to see a super full moon. It is the time when the earth’s natural satellite is just above the horizon. When the moon is at that location, it looks brighter and bigger than it is higher up in the sky.

Earlier, Lorraine Hanlon, associate professor of astronomy at University College Dublin, said that this month’s supermoon is the main event of 2015. “The moon orbits the earth every 28 days on a slightly rugby-ball sized path. The very closest supermoon is called a proxigee. It happens once every 13 months and 18 days”, the professor added.
