Super Blood Moon May 2021
Night owls in California and other points out west are in for a treat on May 26 as the moon enters Earth’s shadow and turns a blood red color during a total lunar eclipse, the first in more than two years visible from the United States.
And if you hear anyone calling this a super blood moon, that’s because the moon will also line up in its closest approach to our planet, an event some call a supermoon.
“You’re actually getting to see the solar system working, and Newton’s laws of gravity in operation before your own eyes,” said Edwin Krupp, director of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.

Man, I always miss all the good stuff. Not that I could've viewed it from my location, but I didn't even see this article 'til now.
Fascinating night for sky viewers.
