On Sunday, September 27th, a Supermoon cosmic event will occur. This phenomenon will manifest at approximately 1:00 UTC (or 8:00 CST). A Supermoon occurs when the moon reaches its perigee at the same time as a lunar eclipse. The last Supermoon appeared in 1982, so for many this will be the first opportunity to witness such an event.
