Supermoon plus eclipse equals rare sky show Sunday night

Post by PeteC »

The article states "West Asia" as the closest for us. No idea if any of it will be visible from here? Pete :cheers:

"....A total lunar eclipse will share the stage with a so-called supermoon Sunday night or early Monday, depending where you are. That combination hasn't been seen since 1982 and won't happen again until 2033....."

Some impressive pics (36 in total) on MSN which includes pics from Dover and Glastonbury in the UK. Well worth a look:

Went out and saw the moon, it was quite small. Looked more dirty than red, but here in So California the air is brown from pollution so that may have caused it.

I found this one that the article missed...

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
