Supermoon total lunar eclipse delights Maritime stargazers

A total lunar eclipse was seen high in the Arizona skies Sunday night.

This was a rare astronomical event when a swollen "supermoon" and lunar eclipse combined for the first time in decades.

A few people call the totally eclipsed moon a "blood moon" for the rusty red-orange color it turns once it is completely in the Earth's shadow.

Half the world saw its skies go dark as Earth blocked the full moon's main source of light on Sunday night (Sept. 27).

Many believe this eclipse was significant as it marks the completion of an unusual line-up of four total eclipses at six-monthly intervals known as a "tetrad".

A super blood moon eclipse "precedes the coming of bad haircuts, regrettable makeup choices, poorly animated and conceived cartoon shows, and leg warmers", announced Scott Finkelstein. 

Reddit user Toppo posted the image online to "visualise the reason the moon is illuminated red during a lunar eclipse". "It's not dramatic, but it does look larger", NASA said in a statement.

The simultaneous event will not happen again until 2033, and has only happened five times since the beginning of the 20th century, with the last time taking place in 1982.
