Early tomorrow morning–5 am to 7 am MST–the moon as seen from Albuquerque is doing four amazing things.
- It’s full
- It’s blue (second full this month)
- It’s super (at perigee, closest point to earth in its orbit)
- It’s blood (because lunar eclipse)
We’re going to be on NM Museum of Natural History’s observation deck early tomorrow morning and admire. It’s cloudy right now but the forecast is clear. (We can actually see the moon out the window of our rental house, but astronomical wonders are best observed among other awe-struck humans).
Nifty detail from NASA in this captioned video:
