Stufff we know...Blood Moon is Coming.

My simple camera shot of one of 2014's "Super-Moons"

     It has really been a relatively short period.....five thousand years ago, when we knew next to nothing about the Moon that orbits our home. The earliest record of an eclipse is from 5,000 years ago.
     Back then we thought the planets all rotated around the Earth. In 1633, The Catholic Church condemned Galileo's proposals that the sun is the center.
     Now we're so Luna-smart that NASA has calculated to the precise second where and when Eclipses of the Moon will occur...like one early Wednesday morning.  (A "Blood Moon").
     Best viewing will be on the West Coast, but if you get up really early, you can see it in Alabama too. Since I do that every morning, I'll see if I can get a shot or two, clear skies allowing.

[PLUS:
For five minutes,the sun and eclipsing moon will be visible opposite each other in the sky, with the sun rising in the east at 7:01 a.m., and the eclipsing moon sinking below the skyline at 7:06 a.m. in the west, Pryor said in the report: "It's not something you see every day."
The phenomenon of the sun rising and the eclipsing moon descending at the same time is known as a selenelion, and is only made possible by the refraction of the Earth's atmosphere, The Star-Ledger reports.
