"Bloodmoon"  as  captured by a reader   near Hixon .B.C. – photo submitted

Prince George, B.C.- Did you see it?  It's called a Bloodmoon, as the Moon takes on a shade of red, but it is actualy a lunar eclipse.

It occurs when the Moon . earth and Sun are  nearly perfectly aligned, and the Moon passes directly behind the Earth.  

Last night's (early this morinng) display was  the first  of four lunar eclipses expected this year.

A couple hours before the space station flew over.

This happened between 1:00 and 2:00. :)
