This event was years in the making for. Not since Andrew Jackson was president in 1866 did the sun, moon, and earth align in a way that created a lunar eclipse, a blood moon, and a blue moon. We had to do some digging to figure out what the label meant:
Supermoon: The moon is at its closest point to earth and looks bigger/brighter
Blue Moon: Two full moons in a month
Blood Moon: The earth passes between the sun and moon and the moon appears red
Supermoon: The moon is at its closest point to earth and looks bigger/brighter
Blue Moon: Two full moons in a month
Blood Moon: The earth passes between the sun and moon and the moon appears red
From Trent's apartment at Dr. Street's office in Pikeville, KY he took this picture as the eclipse began.
Here on the homefront we got up early to see it but were frustrated by a cloud covering the main event right as the eclipse began.
