NEW MEXICANS GOT A STELLAR VIEW OF SUNDAY NIGHT’S SUPERMOON ECLIPSE. THE ECLIPSE WAS ALREADY UNDERWAY AS THE MOON STARTED ITS ASCENT OVER THE SANDIA MOUNTAINS JUST BEFORE 7PM. BY 8:11, THE BLOOD MOON ECLIPSE WAS A DONE DEAL.
SOME RESIDENTS HEADED TO THE NEW MEXICO MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IN ABQ TO GET A BETTER GLIMPSE OF THE RARE EVENT. THAT’S WHERE THE ALBUQUERQUE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY HAD TELESCOPES SET UP SO PEOPLE COULD SEE THE ECLIPSE UP CLOSE. THE SHOW WAS OVER JUST BEFORE 11:30 SUNDAY NIGHT.
THE LAST TIME WE HAD A SUPERMOON ECLIPSE WAS IN 1982. THE NEXT ONE IS IN 2033.
