ELLIS COUNTY — Tonight (Sunday, Sept. 27) will be the last time until 2033 that you can see a Super Blood Moon.This event will be a combined Supermoon and Lunar Eclipse, aka Supermoon Lunar Eclipse."A supermoon is a full or new moon that falls closest to the fall equinox, and is at its closest approach to the Earth. This results in the moon appearing up to 14% larger in diameter," according to NASA."A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow. This can give the moon a red tint."When both of these events occur at the same time, the result is a very large red-looking moon.NASA states this has only occured five times since 1900 and the last time was in 1982.The times for the various stages of the eclipse are below:Partial eclipse will begin at 8:07 p.m. Total eclipse will begin at 9:11 p.m. Peak of the total eclipse will be at 9:47 p.m. Total eclipse will end at 10:23 p.m. Partial eclipse will end at 11:27 p.m. You may also be interested in readingRecords indicate Ellis County may lose Fire Marshal Joe StewartLittle pledges to give back opponent’s $70,000 pay raiseWinter weather causes event cancellations across countyRed Oak woman sentenced to life in prison for murdering husbandCommissioners support renaming highway after Kyle and LittlefieldRed Oak man sentenced to 20 years for Assault on a Public ServantPlea deal nets man 30 years in prison for sexual abuse of eight-year-old girlCommissioner Robinson disrespects officer during traffic stopPublic County Commissioners’ Court meeting scheduled for MondayPublic calls for Ellis County Commissioner Robinson’s resignation ← COLUMN: About the ECSO Civil/Warrants DivisionThe Avenue Church volunteers landscape Gingerbread House → Leave a Reply Cancel replyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
