Flashback to August 21, 2017, when the solar eclipse mesmerized Central Georgia.
People watched as the sun partially was overtaken by the moon, a sight only few across North America were able to experience.
However, it turns out your next out-of-this-world phenomenon happens much more often and you don't have to travel to catch it -- a total lunar eclipse!
The way it works is instead of the moon going between the sun and Earth, casting a narrow shadow on our planet, the Earth comes between the sun and moon.
The Earth will then cast its much larger shadow on the moon, and as the moon passes through the largest part of Earth's shadow, or the Umbra, the moon will take on an orange hue.
But, unlike the 70-mile wide path of totality with the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse's region of totality extends across continents.
All of Central Georgia -- really all of North America in general -- will see totality as will all of South America.
Dr. Donovan Domingue is a Physics and Astronomy professor at Georgia College. Come Sunday night, his eyes will be to the sky
"People can go out and enjoy this with their own eyes, just by going out at the right time and looking for the moon," Domingue said.
That's right, you don't need special equipment. Just simply look up starting a little after 10:30 p.m. and you'll see Earth's shadow slowly move across the moon.
As for totality, it will begin just after 11:40 p.m. and last just under one hour and two minutes.
"It's a very clear demonstration of the Earth and the Moon, and how they connect with the Sun," Domingue said.
The eclipse falls on the first full moon of 2019, giving us a show you won't see again in Central Georgia until May 2022.
There are a couple of viewing parties for the lunar eclipse if the weather holds up:
- Georgia College: 10 p.m.
- Tattnall Square Park in Macon: 9:30 p.m.
Telescopes will be set up at both.
