Stargazers are in for a treat Sunday when a supermoon combines with a lunar eclipse for the first time since 1982.<\/p>\n

The supermoon eclipse will last 1 hour and 11 minutes, and will be visible to North and South America, Europe, Africa, and parts of West Asia and the eastern Pacific, according to NASA. Weather permitting, the supermoon will be visible after nightfall, and the eclipse will cast it into shadow beginning at 8:11 p.m. ET. The total eclipse starts at 10:11 p.m. ET, peaking at 10:47 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

A rare phenomenon, there have only been five supermoon eclipses since 1900 (in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964 and 1982). After Sunday, the next supermoon eclipse will occur in 2033.<\/p>\n

A supermoon occurs when a new or full moon is at its closest to the Earth. “Because the orbit of the moon is not a perfect circle, the moon is sometimes closer to the Earth than at other times during its orbit,” said Noah Petro, deputy project scientist for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a statement<\/a>. “When the moon is farthest away it\u2019s known as apogee, and when it\u2019s closest it\u2019s known as perigee. On Sept. 27, we\u2019re going to have a perigee full moon\u2014the closest full moon of the year.”<\/p>\n
