Supermoon alert: Share your view tonight.
When Earth's shadow begins to cover it, Luna often takes on a reddish tint, leading to the name
"blood moon" for those rare times when a lunar eclipse aligns with a full moon.

“Rare times” ?!?!?!?!!?
Isn’t it amazing that a photographer, who actually mentions the basic idea of the shadow of the earth falling upon the moon, fails to find it hugely obvious that a lunar eclipse must involve a full moon ?
Acoarst we have Hogsters who will paste a full moon into the sky to improve (?) a sunset scene ... their excuse is “I’m an artist, not an astrologer [sic].”
Who would ever think an artist (?) should be aware of light and shadow ? Didn’t we leave that nonsense behind way back with Rembrandt and Van Gough ? [sic].
You can share, you can teach, you can explain, but stupid is a very stubborn stain. Just pearls before swine :-(

Heh, you sure have ...issues.
The poster didn't say anything weird or out of turn.
Lunar eclipses are fairly rare...two a year...and many areas of the globe won't see it....so it is ...rare.

That is actually interesting looking. Looks like Mars from some unknown location. Like some shot for a sci fi film.

My moon eclipsed many years ago, it had no name..... Then, the cow jumped over it.

That is a beautiful photograph. May I show it to my readers on Sunday when I have my usual Picture Parade on my blog?

Still procrastinating on your reading lessons, I see.
