26/05/21: "Super Flower Blood Moon" Lunar Eclipse
Posted by Alex Kim Robbins on May 25, 2021, 3:40 pm
If anyone is interested in stargazing, astronomy or physics we have a pretty cool natural phenomenon happening in our solar system this evening, no equipment needed. At approximately 4:45AM the partial eclipse will begin followed by the peak full eclipse starting at 6:11AM and will last about 14 minutes. Unfortunately we will not see the full tail end of the partial eclipse as the moon will be below the horizon line by that time. https://blogs.nasa.gov/Watch_the_Skies/2021/05/21/mays-full-moon-comes-with-supermoon-eclipse/ Fun fact: the sky is blue for the same reason the moon will be orange tonight, atmospheric refraction. Enjoy!
