Did you miss the Blood moon over the weekend? Check out this photo of the lunar eclipse

Many residents were able to see the total eclipse of the Blood moon that also known as flower moon, flower moon or super moon lunar eclipse Sunday night.

The partial eclipse began at 10:27 p.m and total eclipse began at 11:27 p.m. and by 12:11am, the moon was fully eclipsed.

The “super flower blood moon” is not one thing but rather three celestial events occurring at the same time, the Observer’s Mary Ramsey wrote.

The first is a “supermoon,” which NASA describes as a full moon that looks bigger than a normal full moon “because it’s a bit closer to Earth.”

The term “flower moon” is used by the Old Farmer’s Almanac to describe a full moon that happens in May, a reference to the way “flowers spring forth across North America in abundance this month” that has its roots in Native American culture.

And “blood moon” is a colloquial name for a total lunar eclipse that comes from the reddish hue that appears on the moon during the eclipse.
