Supermoon 2018: Rare Super Blue Blood Moon
Supermoon January 31, 2018: Rare super blue blood moon takes to the sky as three unusual lunar phenomena – an extra big super moon, a blue moon and a total eclipse – takes place at the same time.
The last time there was a super blue blood moon eclipse was 150 years ago in 1866.
The super blue blood moon is the culmination of a blue moon (commonly referred to as the second full moon in a month) and a supermoon when the Earth is at its closest orbit to our planet. The blood moon is the phenomenon whereby the moon in total eclipse appears reddish in color as it is illuminated by sunlight filtered and refracted by the earth’s atmosphere.

The moon is so lovely. And it is always there for us (when there are no clouds!). 🙂

That;s so true, the sun and the moon are always there even when we don’t see them. 🙂

I think that came to mind most for me when I saw your photo of the moon setting in Jerusalem. Just never thought of it!

When we flew to NC right after the hurricane. I took the best sun above the cloud photo – the one I use as the header for my blog.
When we landed, it was cloudy and gloomy. I wrote a poem about the sun being there on a cloudy day.

It was fantastic. We had a pretty good view in Arkansas. At times like this one, I thought of this verse: The heavens declare the glory of God—Ps 19:1

You are fortunate to have a good view as far as the time. It reminds me of Psalm 8, that when we look at the moon and the stars, we are at awe that God makes us a little lower than the angel. What an awesome thought.

Magic, pure magic. How fantastic is the one near Budapest.! I saw one about 6.30 p.m., it was reminiscent of the London one but clearer. Just stood for a while in awe.

Oh, I’m glad to hear from you. Yes, I picked 7 out of the 32 photos from the slideshow. Due to time and place, I couldn’t see the moon when it was red. Do you have regular shifts or some kind of rotation?
