Share your pictures of the Blood Moon!
(Thanks iPhone for [i]great[/i] quality)
This is a pretty cool moment in science. This is the first time a supermoon lunar eclipse has taken place since 1982, and the first time since the induction of cellular phones and social media. Right now, millions of people around the world are looking up at this amazing natural phenomenon. Twitter is going crazy.
For a live feed you can head to nasa.gov
Please post your photos and comment where you are right now! It'll be awesome to get different perspectives on it! I'm currently near the coast in Rhode Island, USA.
Also, I'd like to use this thread to explain what the hell is going on up there. No we're not dying and it's not an apocalypse. Currently, there is a lunar eclipse, which means Moon is in a direct line with Earth and Sun, in the order Moon, Earth, Sun. So Earth is casting its shadow over Moon. However, at the same time this is happening, Moon is at its "perigee" which means the point in its orbit that it is closest to Earth. What this also means is that for a short time, Moon is fully encapsulated in Earth's "umbra," which is basically the area which its shadow is the darkest. So, we see Moon illuminated red because of light from Sun, refracted by Earth. Similar to how a sunset gives the sky a reddish tint.
If you don't feel like reading all that^ here's a [url=http://i.space.com/images/i/000/050/386/original/umbra-color-schematic-lunar-eclipse.jpg?1442954361]diagram[/url]. If you don't understand what that means, read the paragraph above.
Let me see your bloody Moons, #offtopic.

As Offtopic's official moonpraiser, I approve of this post. However, Clouds blocked the view of the moon, for many, something has to be done. This is a petition to develop a super weapon that can destroy clouds.
