SuperMoon, Lunar Eclipse This Weekend
By: The Weather Channel
Most all of North America, South America and Africa will have a chance to see something truly amazing on Sunday when three celestial events – a full moon, a supermoon, and a lunar eclipse – will coincide for a few hours.
The majority of the viewing area will see the full eclipse for about an hour, but where you are in the world will determine just how late you need stay awake (or how early you need to get up) to take it all in.
According to USA Today, the West Coast of the United States and Canada have the best timeframe. Folks in Vancouver and Los Angeles can enjoy the sight over dinner with the full eclipse happening around 7:11 p.m. It will last one hour and 12 minutes.
Eastern U.S. cities, including New York and Atlanta, will have to wait until 10:11 p.m., and South American cities such as Rio will have to wait a further hour.
Viewers in Europe and Africa will have to get up early on the morning of the 28th, with the full eclipse peaking at around 3:11 a.m. in London and Tangier and about 4:11 a.m. for Madrid and Cape Town.

Reblogged this on that little voice.
The perfect light show…I love the Moon. Hope its not cloudy so I can get some photos to add to my collection. My late husband used to sit outside and capture these eclipses and special moons even if he had to bundle up in winter duds. 🙂
Hope you have a cloud-free night far from competing ambient lighting 🙂
Beautiful pictures. Hope I can stay awake!
LOL, worth it, atheling 🙂
Did you get to see it? Very cool.
