Moon Spectacular

Last evening we joined friends on the Crescent Bridge near our home to watch the incredible SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON.

At 6pm we could see the big beautiful moon low in the sky. It was a SUPER Moon because it was close to the Earth and looked very big and bright. It was a BLUE Moon because it was the second full moon in the month of January.





At 7pm we saw the shadow of the Earth pass over the moon face and begin to change its colour to copper. It was a BLOOD Moon because it was a lunar eclipse. By 8pm the moon was a blood-red colour as it reached the total eclipse. (The above photos were taken with Lisa's Canon Rebel camera by our friend Hannah.)
