(CBN News) – A rare lunar eclipse entitled the “Super Blood Wolf Moon” will appear across the world, including the US, this Sunday.

The beginning of the total eclipse phase starts at 11:41 pm ET, lasting 62 minutes. According to CBS News, the unusual name for this lunar eclipse comes from the three events happening at once:
“Super Moon” – a full moon that appears bigger than normal because it’s at its closest point to Earth during its orbit. “Wolf Moon” – a Native American term used to describe the first full moon of the year. “Blood Moon” – the moon appears to be reddish in color during a total lunar eclipse as the sun, Earth and moon all line up. In recent years, a number of blood moons have captured global attention, causing some to speculate about a possible connection to prophecy and the End Times. READ MORE
