A supermoon will turn red for a super total lunar eclipse on May 26, according to AccuWeather. It will be visible in the western United States before sunrise.
In the northeast, a “ring of fire” eclipse will be visible in northern Ontario on June 10th. The moon will be too far from Earth in its orbit to completely block the sun, creating the red ring.
Later in the summer, shooting stars will fall from the night sky from August 11 to 12 due to the Perseid meteor shower. The Perseids, which increase by about 75 meteors per hour, are dust and debris from comet Swift-Tuttle, AccuWeather explains.
A blue moon will come out on August 22nd. This will be a seasonal blue moon, the third of four full moons in a single season.
The year ends with the Geminid meteor shower, which will reach its maximum on the evening of 13 to 14 December. AccuWeather described it as the best meteor shower of the year, saying it can reach 120 meteors per hour.
The shower, made up of debris from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon, is known for both its quantity and the bright multicolored meteors it produces.
