| NOTE! The final total lunar eclipse is actually on SUNDAY, September 27! |
Don't miss this fourth "Blood Moon"! Again, it's the evening of September 27th! Yes, it's Sunday evening here in the United States,
NOT Monday the 28th!
We've been talking for a year and a half about
the fourth total lunar eclipse that will fall on a major annual Jewish holiday,
Sukkot, which is the 7th of the seven annual Jewish holy days. The date
given everywhere, including here on my blog, has been September 28, 2015, which is
Monday. But here in the western hemisphere, this lunar eclipse will actually
take place on Sunday evening, September 27th.
Why the discrepancy? Remember that on the
Jewish calendar, a day runs from sunset to sunset. So Sukkot (on our calendars
as September 28th), actually starts at sundown on Sunday, September
27th.
Also, the solar and lunar eclipses forecast on
web sites such as TimeAndDate.com use UTC: Coordinated Universal Time. UTC is
a time standard all of the world's timing centers have agreed to synchronize
to.
Many of us learned about Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT) (also known as Zulu time) which is sort of similar but not really the
same. (GMT is now a Time Zone.) You can learn more about it here:
All this means that this fourth total lunar
eclipse is said to be on September 28 because that is on UTC time.
BUT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES this fourth Total Lunar Eclipse will be after sunset on Sunday, September 27th!
Please spread the word and don't miss it!
