Good morning everyone,
By now, its likely that all of you have heard that there will be a super harvest lunar eclipse blood moon tonight. Not only is the moon closer to earth than usual, making it appear larger, i.e. a super moon, it is also the harvest moon, which is the full moon that is closest to the fall equinox. And, tonight is even more special in that an eclipse of the moon will be visible in large parts of the country, during which time the moon will glow red with the light from sunrises and sunsets around the globe.
What better time for a moondance! Head outside tonight and dance under the super harvest lunar eclipse blood moon. If luck has it that clouds obscure the moon where you are, the wonderful geeks at NASA have set up a live feed to provide moonlight for your dance.
