Marta Evry gave us our last eclipse photo and this one is even more spectacular.
Bruce McClure in Tonight says the Blue Moon — second of two full moons in one calendar month –passed thru the Earth’s shadow 31 January to give all a total lunar eclipse. Totality, when the moon will be entirely inside the Earth’s dark umbral shadow, lasted a bit more than one and a quarter hours. The 31 January full moon was the third in a series of three straight full moon supermoons — that is, super-close full moons. It is the first of two blue moons in 2018. So, it was not just a total lunar eclipse, or a Blue Moon, or a supermoon. It was all three — a super Blue Moon total eclipse.
