A Supermoon Solar Eclipse on Friday the 13th?

How about the Longest Total Lunar Eclipse of the 21st Century?

The skies are a busy place this summer.  Whether your interest lies with scientists and astronomy or the astrologist’s zodiac there’s plenty to read about and watch overhead with Several Eclipses of the Sun and Moon; a Supermoon, New Moons, a Blood Moon and well, check it out...




The partial solar eclipse is the first of 3 eclipses in a row. Let’s start with today, Friday the 13th, a date that has long been considered a harbinger of bad luck by popular culture.

A new moon that's as close to Earth as it gets for the rest of 2018 will pass in front of the sun July 13. This eclipse is particularly rare because there hasn’t been a solar eclipse on Friday the 13th for 43 years – since December 13, 1974, according to NASA. And the next one won’t be for another 62 years – Friday the 13th September 13, 2080.

Astrologers are forecasting humans to become ultra emo with this double Whammy supermoon. check out one forecast here.

A supermoon occurs because the moon’s orbit around Earth is elliptical, so sometimes it's closer, creating the optical illusion that the moon is suddenly much bigger and brighter.

The ultra-rare occurrence will be viewable from South Australia, the Pacific, and the Indian Ocean. People in Tasmania, an island off the southern coast of Australia, will most likely get the best view of the Friday the 13th eclipse, which is expected to last one hour and four minutes.

Other places, including Geelong, Australia will also have a partial view of the eclipse on July 13, but they will see less than 25% of the sun blocked out by the moon, meaning it could look almost like a regular sunny afternoon.


The next eclipse is just 2 weeks away and will also be very special!

The Next Lunar Eclipse

The next lunar eclipse is in two weeks, on July 27, 2018 will be a total lunar eclipse, or Blood Moon (click here for video) and a very special one because it's the longest of the 21st century. While on most occasions, the moon passes into the Earth's shadow for an hour or so, on July 27, 2018 it will do so for 1 hour 43 minutes. However, once again it's not observable from North America; the best views are from India, the Middle East and East and South Africa. In the U.K. it will be possible to watch a totally eclipsed moon appear on the horizon at dusk.

The Next Solar Eclipse

August’s New Moon on August 11, 2018 causes another partial solar eclipse, this time visible only from the extreme north of North America, Greenland, Iceland, northern Europe and Scandinavia, and much of Asia. The north Siberian shore will experience a big 73.6-percent eclipse of the sun as it sets
