Fog? Overslept? No worries - here’s what the super blue blood moon looked like
Sacramento Valley fog played peekaboo with the first super blue blood moon in 35 years.
There was still a cosmic show to catch early Wednesday morning despite the patchy fog. And if you missed it, NASA livestreamed the event (video is attached).
The second full moon in a calendar month is a blue moon. This one also happens to be an especially close and bright moon, or supermoon. The addition of a total eclipse is known as a blood moon for its red tint.
NASA is calling it a lunar trifecta: the first of its kind since 1982. The combination won't happen again until 2037.
