Total lunar eclipse meets supermoon Sunday night -AP
the AP reports: "Here comes a total lunar eclipse and supermoon, all wrapped into one.
The moon, Earth and sun will line up this weekend for the only total
lunar eclipse this year and next. At the same time, the moon will be
ever so closer to Earth and appear slightly bigger and brighter than
usual — a supermoon.
“This one is particularly good,” said Rice University astrophysicist
Patrick Hartigan. 'It not only is a supermoon and it’s a total eclipse,
but the total eclipse also lasts pretty long. It’s about an hour.'
The whole eclipse starts Sunday night or early Monday, depending on
location, and will take about three hours."
Comment: Happy sky-watching. I think it may be cloudy in my area, but I'm looking forward to the photos on the net.
