If You Are Into Astronomy,

make a note on your calendar for the night of January 19-20, 2019,


when the convergence of several conditions will bring us a light show called a Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse, above is a picture I took of the last lunar eclipse which resulted in a Blood moon, what a way to start a year of spectacular celestial sights, with Earth between the Sun and Moon, our satellite in its 'full' phase will turn a red-orange-copper color for an hour or so during this Total Lunar Eclipse it's visible on the night-side of Earth, which includes South America, the eastern Pacific Ocean, the western Atlantic Ocean, and extreme western Europe, it is also a Supermoon (when the moon is closer to Earth than average, so appears slightly larger), and the last Total Lunar Eclipse visible from the U.S. until May 2021, so enjoy it while you can, so where does the "wolf" part come in? that's the common name for the full moon in January, You'll find a schedule for all the spectacular celestial events happening in 2019 at Forbes, I just wish the camera that I had repaired in Thailand had not failed the very next day it was repaired and we left,

and in case you have forgotten, another of mine of just the plain moon.
