Just before dawn, the year’s biggest and brightest supermoon was seen overhead Sandia’s solar tower as the moon passed through Earth’s shadow.
When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are perfectly aligned, a total lunar eclipse occurs as the Earth casts its full shadow on a full Moon. The Moon may turn red – the color with the longest wavelength – due to some sunlight filtering through the Earth’s atmosphere. Today’s total lunar eclipse coincided with the Moon’s closest distance to Earth, coining it the Super Blood Moon.
