| This coming weekend on the 27-28th there will be a super lunar moon. Basically if you know anything about the moon it's when a lunar eclipse occurs during a supermoon. Now, granted supermoon isn't an official astronomical term, but it describes when the moon is closer than usual during a full moon or new moon. Supermoon: A full or new Moon that occurs when the Moon is less than 360,000 kilometers (ca. 223,694 miles) from the center of the Earth. The significance in all this is the event is a rare occurrence. The last one of its kind to happen was back in 1982. The next estimated time it will happen is in 18 years or 2033. So, if you're ever planning to view a lunar eclipse this weekend would be the time. It's estimated the moon will be 12-14% bigger and 30% brighter. If you've been hearing people call it a blood moon there's a link that explains some of the reasoning behind it as well as any questions you might have in general. Personally, I'm not going to miss it unless the weather decides to be troublesome. I've seen lunar moons in the past, but never a super lunar moon. The last one was well before my time and the next one I might or might not be able to see.   http://earthsky.org/?p=51212 http://earthsky.org/space/what-is-a-blood-moon-lunar-eclipses-2014-2015#why |

| Of course not. |
| Even if I could see it, provided there were a clear enough Sky, I wouldn't stay up late or wake up early at around 4:45 in the Morning just to see a slightly bigger Moon. |

Timezones and too little Interest in these particular Phenomena won't convince me to stay up late or wake up early. If it had been prospected at a better I Time, I would've decided to at least take a Look at it, but I'm not going out of my Way to watch something just for the Sake of watching it. |
Noboru said: Yeah, I can understand that. You have to have an interest to be willing to take time away from sleep or other commitments. I just thought you misinterpreted what it was when you mentioned only a supermoon.Actually, I don't find Lunar Eclipses to be any interesting, as opposed to Solar ones. Timezones and too little Interest in these particular Phenomena won't convince me to stay up late or wake up early.

| Just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cool. Too bad I live in California. I probably won't see much of it, because by the time it gets dark, much of it would have already passed. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Dammit. I live on the other side of the world lol. |

I better see this |
| Nice choice of photo. It's beginning if anyone is interested in a live broadcast. http://www.space.com/19195-night-sky-planets-asteroids-webcasts.html |

| not visible here in the tropics, i will just look for youtube videos of it then |

| Pretty good. Sky is perfectly clear for the first time in about 5 attempts of looking at things in space. Easily better than the solar eclipse at the end of the 90s. |
fuck everything and rumble |
 the infinite tsukuyomi fillers will extend into the real world as well |
 |
| The infinite tsukuyomi fillers will probably still be going the next time this solar event happens. |

| The last red moon was pretty disappointing honestly. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| I'm on edt, it's 10:48, and lord help me, the moon has gone missing! It's the mars aliens NASA was preparing to warn us about that are causing this phenomenon. That name is pretty silly, it's super because it's close to earth? That's awful shortsighted, like, we should know we're not the center of existence by now. A shame our eastern friends can't see it. |
 |
| i just watched it and it was so beautiful! |
 |
| I just looked at it about a minute ago, it's alright. More like orange though. |
|
| Just saw it... What a sight it was. |
 |
| That was more boring than I thought it would be. Maybe if there were absolutely no lights on anywhere it would have been awesome. I could still see it good though. |
| Arghhh Goddamnit, I overslept by an hour, the goddamn eclipse if at full crescent and I can't see shit when I look out because of where I live. Great well gotta wait another 18 years... |
| I've been here way too long... |

Great well gotta wait another 18 years... It wasn't that bad here. In order to get absolutely no light pollution you have to go out in the middle of nowhere in the Pacific Ocean if I remember right. I'm sure camping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon or something would have been good enough too. |
ios said: rly? probably i just saw the sun at sunrise lel not visible here in the tropics, i will just look for youtube videos of it then but its weird that I can just stare in the bright red sun without hurting my eyes. i thought it was the moon |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| Stupid clouds |
 |
| Saw it a couple hours ago, it was nice. I remember seeing a lunar eclispe when I was younger but it wasn't also a "supermoon" at this time. |
