Lunar trifecta: A supermoon, blue moon, and lunar eclipse
Viewers on the West Coast got a spectacular show from 4:51 a.m. to 6:05 a.m where the supermoon and blue moon turned orange as it slipped behind the sun during a lunar eclipse.
Those who got up early this morning were treated to a celestial convergence called a “super blue blood moon.” That means a supermoon, blue moon [second full moon in a calendar month] and lunar eclipse were visible in the western hemisphere for the first time in 152 years. Berkeleyside contributing photographer David Yee was awake and captured these amazing photos.
