The Next Lunar Eclipse Will Be Visible From Minnesota And You Won’t Want To Miss Out
No one who was around will forget the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse across the United States. That event will go down in history as one that united just about everyone in the country. Solar eclipses are amazing, but what about their lesser-known cousin? There’s a total lunar eclipse coming to Minnesota this January, and you aren’t going to want to miss it.
This winter, a rare event will take place in the skies over Minnesota. Several different circumstances will collide to create what some are calling a "super blood wolf moon."
So what does this unusual name mean? A supermoon is a moon that appears larger than usual in the sky. During these times, the Moon is as close as it can get to Earth.
On January 20-21, 2019, the Moon will pass behind the earth, into the planet's shadow. The eclipse will start at 9:33 p.m. on January 20. It will end at 12:50 a.m. on January 21.
If you'd like to see this amazing astronomical event, head out of the city for the best views. It'll be the last chance to see a total lunar eclipse until 2021!
