Here the total lunar eclipse and supamun comes, all are wrapped in one
Moon, Earth and Sun will be in line for this year's only lunar eclipse this year. At the same time, the Moon will be so close to the Earth and it will look a bit bigger and bright than usual - a superman.
The full eclipse begins on Sunday night or Monday, depending on location and it will take about three hours.
It starts on a Sunday with a partial phase of EST (9:04 AM IST) at approximately 10:34 a.m. When the shadow of the earth will start falling on the moon.
Totality - When the shadow of the earth completely gives the blanket to the moon - it will last for 62 minutes, which starts at 11:41 PM EST (10:11 am IST) Sunday.
The complete eclipse will be visible in North and South America, as well as in Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and the French and Spanish shores.
Some places including the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles are making it lively.
During the totality, the moon will appear red due to the scattering of sunlight from Earth's atmosphere. That is why the eclipse moon is sometimes called a blood moon. (In January, Purnima is sometimes known as the Wolf Moon or the Great Spirit Moon.)
So informally, the upcoming lunar eclipse will be a super blood wolf - or great soul - the moon.
Asia, Australia and New Zealand are out of fate.
The next total lunar eclipse will not be until May 2021.
As a supermine of Purnima, it will be the first of three this year. Upcoming supermon will be about 222,000 miles (357,300 kilometers) away. The supermon on February 19 will be a bit closer and will be the farthest on March 20.
