Supermoon heralds the End of Days, some believe. Are you ready for the Day of Reckoning?

A crimson red so-called supermoon will loom large on Earth’s canopy early on Monday, bringing awe and fear to communities all over the world.

For you see, some believe such phenomenon is a clear sign that the End of Days is nigh. Civilization’s end.

From a purely astronomical standpoint, however, this is a unique chance to witness a celestial wonder that has not taken place for 30 years; a lunar eclipse when the moon is near to its closest point to Earth.

Known as a blood moon, or Harvest Moon, our one and only satellite will pass behind behind the Earth into its shadow, resulting in a red tint across the lunar surface.

Whether the end of the world as we know it is upon us, well, it’s up for debate. The truth remains that this event will not happen again for another 18 years, so make sure you’re supermoon-ready on Sunday night.
