The Next Lunar Eclipse Will Be Visible From Michigan And You Won’t Want To Miss Out

There’s something fascinating about experiencing a lunar eclipse. This unique phenomenon serves as a reminder of our relative tininess among a vast universe and elicits wonder from people of all ages. Luckily for us, 2019 promises to deliver yet another incredible eclipse - and you’ll want to mark your calendar.

A total lunar eclipse is expected to occur on January 20th and 21st, 2019. This fascinating event will be visible to varying degrees throughout the world, but we Michiganders will have a clear view of the full eclipse - as long as skies are clear.

Total eclipses occur when the moon passes into Earth’s shadow completely. Supermoons happen when the moon is closest to Earth during orbit, while a wolf moon marks the first full moon of the year. January’s unique eclipse will combine a blood moon, a wolf moon, and a supermoon. That’s right: some are calling this amazing event a "super blood wolf moon."

Beginning at approximately 9:40 p.m. on January 20th, Michigan residents can watch the eclipse progress as the moon gradually takes on a glowing red hue.

At 12:16 a.m. on January 21st, the eclipse will reach its peak, offering an unforgettable sight to stargazers in the Great Lakes State and beyond.

Total lunar eclipses typically occur just once every two years, so be sure to check out this cosmic phenomenon when it arrives in Michigan this month. You don’t have to be a night sky fanatic to appreciate the mind-boggling beauty of an eclipse. Mark your calendars for this breathtaking experience - you’re in for an unforgettable view.
