totality of the supermoonWhat does your future offer to you?
I noticed a lot of deviants captured the rare lunar event that happened last Sunday. I was delighted to ogle over all the creative and awe-inspiring exposures of the cosmic shadow play.
I worked a long shift and missed witnessing totality but saw the waning part of the eclipse. A 'Super' moon is when the moon is closest to the Earth in its orbital path. It is on average 42,800 km closer to us at this point, hence looking somewhat larger. A lunar eclipse is when the moon is full (Earth between it and the Sun) and coincides with entering the node of the ecliptic path, therefore casting it's umbra across a fated path over Earth. These two events happened at the same time, a relatively rare astronomic event. Rare in the terms of a human's lifespan, however very a common event in the history of the Earth's and Moon's gravitational dance. You
