Starting at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27, Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) is bringing out the telescopes to observea lunar eclipse from the Los Alamos Nature Center.

It is termed a “supermoon” eclipse, because the moon is closer to Earth on the 27th and 28th of this month than any other time of the year.
