A total lunar eclipse is happening next Monday

Mark your calendar and dust of the telescope because there is some epic lunar activity expected next Monday, September 28.

A total lunar eclipse (just like the one in the Jaffa cake ads) will cover the moon on September 28 and last an hour and 12 minutes.

The total lunar eclipse, otherwise known as a blood moon, occurs when the Earth’s Penumbra and umbra cross over the face of the moon, shading it from view.
