A shadow falls on the moon as it undergoes a total lunar eclipse, as seen from Mexico City on April 15, 2014. On September 27, a lunar eclipse will occur at the same time as a supermoon for the first time since 1982. EDGARD GARRIDO/REUTERS

i placed it under religion because Islam and Judaism both use the lunar calendar and a blood red moon portends evil things for Islam

Saw the last one when I went outside a few months ago. Gotta find out when this one is visible in the Midwest.

I’m quite excited about this. The moon actually will rise in Seattle at about 6:40 PM, partly, almost totally eclipsed.

I’ve been fortunate enough to see the moon rise twice in my life - fully eclipsed!

Plus Sunday is supposed to be super clear in Seattle.

I may want to find some stable high ground somewhere, no rocks to fall down on me, no tsunami to drown me, no fiery death from a supervolcano to fry me.

I do think something will happen. My guess? Pacific Northwest earthquake.

Don’t know if I’m reading that correctly - almost sounds like late Sunday night if I subtract 5 hours for Midwest.

Did I totally miss?
