Supermoon Eclipse – North Lake Tahoe, CA Sept. 27, 2015

We have had several recent opportunities to see a lunar eclipse (this is the forth one since January 2014), but with the last Supermoon Eclipse occurring back in 1982, and with the wait of another eighteen (18) years until the next Supermoon Eclipse, this Sunday, September 27, 2015 will be your opportunity to see a Supermoon Eclipse even here in North Lake Tahoe!

While the viewing of this Supermoon Eclipse will not be as good as it will be on the east coast of the United States, it is still worth trying to see as the next one won’t be until 2033.

Not only is this a Supermoon, which means it is the closest to the earth in its rotation cycle and will appear larger and brighter in size, but it will also be called a Blood Moon because the lunar eclipse makes the moon look blood red in color as the eclipse happens.

This Supermoon is also the Harvest Moon this year as this is the full moon that will be closest to the autumnal equinox, which makes this Supermoon Eclipse a big one!

If you’ll be up in North Lake Tahoe, which is on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) here is the Supermoon Eclipse Schedule:
