Tonight, the moon passed through Earth’s shadow inย the only total lunar eclipse of 2019. The next total eclipse won’t happen until 2021, and we’ll have to wait until 2022 for a blood moon to be visible again from North America. A blood moon is when the moon goes into eclipse and turns blood red. Tonight’s total lunar eclipse also occurred while the moon was very near it’s closest point to Earth this month, making it a supermoon. And since January’s full moon is also known as a Wolf Moon, that’s led some people to call tonight’s lunar event…ย Super Blood Wolf Moon.
During a total eclipse, the moon passes so deep into the shadow that any light reaching its surface only comes from the edge of Earth, where sunrises and sunsets are taking place. That light falls on to the moon and turns it red. Tonight when the moon went into eclipse, it turned blood red. We could see the full moon just above the horizon on our way out to watch the conference championship football games…



And later, we snuck outside to try to get a peek at the Super Wolf Blood Moon…


It was too cold outside to break out the dSLR cameras, big lenses or tripod. I just used my Samsung Galaxy Note9 and my new Moment 60mm Tele lens…



I got this capture that I was pretty happy with…






I love lunar events like this and really anything to do with the moon. ๐๐โค๏ธ

One year ago today, I received this drawling from my nephew entitled,ย “Octopod for Shellington & Captain Barnacles” and it’s still one of my very favorites…

When we left OtR earlier this evening, it was raining. By the time we got home and took the dogs on a walk, it had started sleeting and the wind was howling. It really hurt to get pelted by all the little ice pellets. By the time we were heading off to bed, the snow had started to accumulate…






And I took this video with my Instagram of the snow blowing…





I’m really ready for winter to be over already. ๐โ๏ธ๐จ๏ธโค๏ธ

This morning I earned the Helicopter badge from my Fitbit Charge3…

How cool is that? I didn’t even realize Fitbit had badges you could earn. This badge was pretty easy to achieve when I’m going up and down three flights of stairs all the time in our house. ๐โก๏ธ๐โค๏ธ
