Rare blood moon lunar eclipse happening.

Stargazers, night owls and space observers, be prepared, the eclipse of the supermoon is coming.

The United States and much of the world will see skies graced by a bright, big moon that will be encapsulated in a total lunar eclipse late Sunday evening into early Monday, according to NASA.

The lunar combination is happening for the first time in 30 years.

The supermoon, which comes around once every year, will appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter in the sky that evening before it is engulfed by an eclipse for more than an hour.

As if that wasn’t already a spectacular sight, this eclipse is the fourth and final in the so called “blood moons,” a phrase that has become popular to describe the four lunar eclipses we have seen in 2014 and 2015. Scientifically this is known as a “lunar tetrad.”

Another supermoon eclipse will not occur again until 2033

I can see it right now from the West Coast and it looks pretty amazing - only wish I could see it at a closer view.

Wish I had a telescope to get a better view, pretty cool simply because it's rare to see I guess.

Too many clouds out for me to see anything.

I just saw it by chance. Had to drive my dad somewhere and saw it on the way. Pretty cool stuff.

It was visible around 9 PM over here, albeit covered with clouds.
Also, I drew Ebola-chan since it's a blood moon and all:
