A total lunar eclipse will share the stage with a so-called supermoon tonight. That combination hasn't been seen since 1982 and won't happen again until 2033. It's also only the 6th time since 1900 that an eclipse has coincided with a supermoon.
The total eclipse will last more than an hour, starting at 7:11 pm and ending at 8:23 pm. During those 72 minutes, the moon will turn a coppery red.
It will be the closest full moon of the year, and will look 14% bigger and 33% brighter than usual.
The eclipse will be visible, weather permitting, from North and South America, Europe, Africa and Western Asia.
