Re: Blue Moon coming

The eclipse is not visible in the UK but there is another later in the year which will be. I also believe it will be earlier than the 3am one I saw a few years ago

27th July 2018 at its maximum 21.21

Re: Blue Moon coming

It's a blood moon too.

Because of the total lunar eclipse on the 31st January it will be a blood blue moon. According to the papers it is 14% bigger than at its apogee and will be 30% brighter (?)

Over 150 years since the last trifecta (Super, Blue and Blood) so I am quite looking forward to it. Though really blue moon means bugger all except to the Gregorian Calender.

I saw the blood super moon in November 2016 (I think) and it really was very red but not particularly noticeably bigger (I didn't think).

Re: Blue Moon coming

These occurrences must have mystified our ancestors, especially as they would appear much stronger in a sky without light pollution.

Re: Blue Moon coming

My friend in Scotland sent me this picture of the Northern Lights.
I think she said it was taken in Iceland.

Re: Blue Moon coming

The moon is very bright tonight and yesterday I could see it through my Kitchen window at 4pm when it was still daylight.

I noticed that tonight too, Twink. It is very beautiful and clear and bright.
