Sky gazers are going to be in for a celestial treat while staring at the moon on September 27, when a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse is going to take place. The full moon will be brighter as it is nearer to Earth in reality.

On Sunday, the moon will be around 31,000 miles closer to Earth, but won't be reaching its closest till Monday morning, known as a 'lunar perigee'. At 10:11 pm, the moon, Earth and the sun will line up in such a way that the Earth's shadow will totally obscure the moon. The total lunar eclipse will end at 11:23 pm, peaking at 10:47 pm.

This is going to mark four consecutive lunar eclipses since 2014, called a tetrad. Eight of these tetrads will be seen by the 21st century. There were no tetrads from 1600 to 1900.

Observatories across the world will mark the celestial event with viewing parties. Starting at 8:00 pm on Sunday, Buehler Planetarium at Seminole State College in Sanford will host a Total Lunar Eclipse Observing Party. During the party, Planetarium staff and astronomy photographers from the Central Florida Astronomical Society will assist the viewers during the celestial event through telescopes.

According to LAtimes.com, celebrations at the Los Angeles Griffith Observatory will take place with live classical music. As a part of the LA Philharmonic's 'Immortal Beethoven' program, Pianist Ray Ushikubo will play Beethoven sonatas.

There will be no issue of bad weather as NASA will carry a live-stream of the eclipse from Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. The space agency will give a live feed from the Griffith Observatory. Mitzi Adams, NASA solar physicist, will answer queries from Twitter using #askNASA.
