Supermoon Lunar Eclipse 2015

Last week was the supermoon lunar eclipse. The moon was at its perigee, the closest it gets to the earth, and appeared 14% larger. Then it slipped into the shadow of the earth and took on an eerie red-orange color. 

I saw it from beautiful Lassen Volcanic National Park and took some photos.



Hikers climbed Lassen Peak at dusk to see the supermoon.

We looked at the moon through a telescope.

And the Milky Way looked pretty spectacular.
