The Super Flower Blood Moon didn’t disappoint spectators who managed to capture this rare sighting on Wednesday, 26 May.
Unfortunately it was not visible in South Africa but the full moon was equally as enchanting when it rose the same night.
What is the Super Flower Blood Moon?
May’s full moon is called the “Flower Moon,” and because there is a total lunar eclipse — also known as a “blood moon” due to the reddish hue on the moon – the two events coinciding forms the “Super Flower Blood Moon”.
It is a rare occurrence, and is especially breathtaking for the parts of the world in darkness – it will be both the brightest and darkest night ever seen. Those living in western North America, western South America, eastern Asia, and Oceania, had the best view of this rare moon event.
