Mark Your Calendar For A Special Total Lunar Eclipse In September

DENVER (CBS4) - There will be a rare treat in the sky during late September and it will happen during a time when you won't have to stay up late to see it!

A total lunar eclipse will grace the skies on September 27, 2015 and feature a Supermoon.

In Denver the eclipse will begin at 7:07 p.m., max out at 8:47 p.m., and end at 10:27 p.m..

The upcoming eclipse is a special one because it is the fourth and final of a tetrad, a series of four eclipses.

The Denver Astronomical Society will be hosting a public viewing at DU's historic Chamberlin Observatory.
