NASA Armstrong Super Blue Blood Moon 2018 Lunar Eclipse Highlights

Highlights from the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center and surrounding area of the Super Blue Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on Jan. 31. The full moon was the third in a series of “supermoons,” when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit -- known as perigee -- and about 14 percent brighter than usual. It was also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon.” As the super blue moon passed through Earth’s shadow, viewers in some locations experienced a total lunar eclipse. While in Earth’s shadow, the moon also took on a reddish tint - which is sometimes referred to as a “blood moon.”

So amazing, a beautiful red moon. It is well understood that people were frightened in the old days.

Next lunar eclipse, could the LRO point a camera back to Earth and show us how it looks from the moon? I would LOVE to see that.
