I’ve always been obsessed with space. My parents had a microscope in their bedroom and I would ask to take it outside and look at the stars. We lived an hour outside of Denver, so the lights were too bright to see anything. Luckily my family had property on the eastern plains. We would go there and see everything.
If you love looking at space-related stuff, mark your calendar for next Wednesday, May 26th. According to CBS News, there is going to be a “Super Flower Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse.” The reason for this awesome event is because our planet Earth will be directly between the moon and the sun. This is what gives the moon that red “blood” color. I’m not much of a science person, so if you want more information on why it’s called that, I’d check out that CBS News link above.
According to the article, this is going to be the best Super Moon of the year. Based on where we are at on the Earth, the best time to see this event is going to be early in the morning. They are saying around 2 am. So if you are an early riser, this is the event for you. The article also says if you aren’t able to see it in your area, The Virtual Telescope Project will have live steam of the event that you can check out. Here is the link to that.
If I’m tired next Wednesday at work, you know what I was doing…
