September full moon to be darkest and brightest of the year

The full Moon in September will be both the darkest and brightest of the year — and some have said that the Blood Moon could be a sign of the apocalypse, The Independent reports.

It will be the fourth of what some are calling the Blood Moon, and Supermoon, of the year, which has been claimed to be a sign of the end of the world.

On the early morning of September 28, the Moon will be extra close to the Earth, leading to what is called a Supermoon. Because of its proximity, the full Moon will be lit up extra bright, especially at around 2am.

But, soon after, the Moon will start to disappear. It will get completely eclipsed by about 3am, as the Earth stands between it and the Sun. It won’t be visible again until about 4.30am.

During the eclipse, the Moon won’t be entirely invisible. Instead, it’s likely that the sun’s rays will bend around the Earth and the light will become red — casting the satellite in a coppery colour, which some call the Blood Moon.

Some are convinced that the Moon — and its relationship with the Sun — will bring about high tides and flooding. They also claim that the strange tidal activity will bring about earthquakes and the eruption of volcanoes.

The night will also see the fourth full moon of the year — which followers of the “Blood Moon Prophecy” are convinced will bring about the end of the world.
