Supermoon Lunar Eclipse

Tomorrow night be sure to look up to the sky around 9:47pm CST.  A celestial event that has happened only 5 times in the past 100ish years, a lunar eclipse during a supermoon!  There hasn't been one in my lifetime yet.  The last time one happened was in 1982.  A supermoon isn’t any different than any other full moon other than it is at its closest to Earth in its orbit making it 14% larger than usual and lunar eclipses actually aren’t that uncommon, we have already had a total eclipse earlier this year in April.  But put them both together and you get something quite special... one big ole red dot in the sky!
