Supermoons, blood red moons and a total eclipse!!

This month brings the “most super” of the year’s supermoons, and on top of that, a total lunar eclipse. In other words, on May 26, 2021, the full moon will enter Earth’s shadow — and, when the Moon is not in our planet’s shade, it will appear even bigger and brighter than usual. (Source: NASA)

To learn more about both of these events: [Visit NASA Here]

The moon will also be a blood red moon! What a month!
