It might be worth staying up late in a few weeks’ time, as
something funky’s happening to the moon.
But don’t say we didn’t warn you – some see it as a sign of
the end of the world.
Just so you know.
In the early hours of September 28 – it’s a Sunday
night/Monday morning, so maybe make an excuse for your boss – it’s going to be
the darkest night and the brightest, just minutes apart.
It’s called the Supermoon and the Blood Moon.
At 2am, the moon will be closer to the earth than normal,
and will appear brilliant white.
But by 3am the moon will have been eclipsed as the earth
will be between it and the sun – which will make it go a copper colour.
It’ll take until 4.30am for it to be fully visible again.
But Christian ministers John Hagee and Mark Blitz warn that
four lunar eclipses since April last year with six full moons in between could
be a sigh of the end of the world.
Gulp.
They warn that it’s an indicator of the end of the earth, as
predicted in the Book of Revelations.
And the Book of Joel warns that the sun will turn to
darkness and the moon into blood before the ‘great and terrible day of the
Lord’.
So you might not need to explain your tiredness away to your
boss after all.
