Lunar Eclipse
Featured on September 26, 2015
The Moon will pass through Earth's long shadow on the night of September 27, creating a total lunar eclipse, such as this one in October 2014. Sunlight filtering through Earth's atmosphere will turn the Moon dark red. This is also the Harvest Moon, which is the full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox. The Moon will be at its closest point to Earth as well, making it look slightly larger than average (though not as large as some reports might suggest). [Tomruen/Wikipedia]
