February's full moon will brighten the skies as the biggest supermoon of the year. The supermoon occurs during this full moon because it will be closest in its orbit to Earth. The super snow moon as it is being called will cross the skies today (Tuesday).
Here comes a total lunar eclipse and supermoon, all wrapped into one. The moon, Earth and sun is to line up for the only total lunar eclipse this year and next.
Skywatchers could catch a glimpse of a bigger and brighter full moon than usual tonight," NASA says in a statement.
Tonight is the night when a supermoon will be coinciding with a lunar eclipse. The next time you’ll have a chance to do so is in 2033.
People around the world watch the skies to observe a rare celestial event, as a lunar eclipse coincides with a so-called "supermoon".
Sky-watchers around the world are in for a treat tonight and tomorrow when the shadow of earth casts a reddish glow on the moon, the result of rare combination of an eclipse with the closest full moon of the year.
