Total eclipse of the moon will occur at the early
hours of September 28th, 2015.
This happens to be the closest Supermoon of 2015.
This September full moon is also called a Blood Moon.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon Passes directly
behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow). This can occur only when the Sun,
Earth, and Moon are aligned, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle.
Hence, a lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon.
