This coming Sunday night there will be a lunar eclipse. This lunar eclipse is known as a supermoon eclipse because the moon will be closer to the earth in it's orbit, making it appear up to 14% larger. We will not see another eclipse like this one for 18 years. Nothing special is needed to view this eclipse.

"A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the full moon and the sun. The Earth's shadow covers the moon, which often has a red color, hence the "blood" moon nickname."
