Watch NASA’s live video stream of the supermoon total eclipse

27 September 2015 Astronomy Now

Since a total lunar eclipse is visible from an entire hemisphere of the Earth where the full Moon happens to be above the horizon, it is sadly inevitable that overcast skies will spoil parts of this special event for some of you. Optimistically, your home sky will be clear, but don’t despair if you’re clouded out — you can watch it here!

NASA will live stream the event above from 1am BST until at least 4:30am BST (00:00—03:30 UT) on 28 September (8pm—11:30pm EDT on 27 September) broadcast from Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, with a live feed from the Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, California.

Mitzi Adams, a NASA solar physicist at Marshall will discuss the eclipse and answer questions from Twitter. To ask a question, use the #askNASA hashtag.

See the Moon and Jupiter get close in the small hours of 21 May

19 May 2019 Ade Ashford

Observers in the UK with clear skies around 1am BST on Tuesday, 21 May can see Jupiter, the solar system’s largest planet, just 4 degrees from the waning gibbous Moon low in the south-southeast. At this time both the Moon and Jupiter fit within the same field of view of binoculars magnifying less than 10×, while telescope users can also view Jupiter’s Great Red Spot.

Don’t miss the largest supermoon of 2020 on 8 April

7 April 2020 Ade Ashford

The full Moon of 8 April 2020 occurs just 8½ hours after perigee, its closest point to Earth in the oval-shaped lunar orbit. A full Moon occurring close to perigee is popularly called a supermoon, and this one will be 8½ percent larger than average. This is also the closest full Moon of the year and we’ll not see one larger until 5 November 2025.
