Every month, the Moon makes one trip, or orbit, around Earth. From the Sun’s perspective, the Moon usually passes a little above or below Earth. Occasionally, the Moon reaches a position where it is in a straight line with Earth and the Sun. When this happens, eclipses occur. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun.
A total lunar eclipse will be visible from most of North America on September 27 & 28, 2015. The exact timing of the eclipse depends on your location. Check out the resources below for activities and programming ideas for lunar eclipses, including information on when the eclipse will be visible at your location.
