‘Impossible’ Cosmic Phenomenon To Occur Wednesday Morning!

An extremely rare, and pretty much "impossible" cosmic phenomenon called a selenelion is going to occur tomorrow morning around 6:58 a.m.

So what the heck is a selenelion? A selenelion is a total eclipse of the moon while the sun is rising.

From discovery.com -

"The rare phenomenon, called a selenelion, seems impossible due to celestial geometry, according to discovery.com. During a lunar eclipse, the sun and moon are exactly 180 degrees apart in the sky.

However, the phenomenon is possible due to what scientists call ‘atmospheric refraction.' A reflection of the sun can be seen for several extra minutes before it rises and the moon remains visible for several additional minutes after it actually sets."

So tomorrow morning, we'll have approximately 2-9 minutes, to simultaneously see the sun rising in the east while the eclipsed moon is setting in the west.
