Supermoon

Here are some photos of the moon from Carson City on Monday night, ahead of Tuesday's full "supermoon" also called the "pink moon," which astronomers say will be the biggest and brightest of the year. As we are isolated indoors, you may want to step outside for a view of this one.

The second supermoon in a series of three will happen tonight, Monday, Jan. 1, 2018 with the peak occurring at 6:24 p.m. Pacific Time. The forecast calls for scattered high clouds and relatively mild conditions for this time of the year. The final supermoon in the series will happen Jan. 31, which also corresponds with a lunar eclipse for some parts of the world.

Sky watchers take note: A total lunar eclipse will happen across the western U.S. Sunday evening, which coincides with the moon’s closest point to the Earth in its orbit, also known as the “super moon.”

The downside, however, is a large band of cirrus clouds is expected to spread across western Nevada Sunday night that may limit or obscure viewing of the eclipse, depending on the thickness of the cloud cover, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.

The Supermoon is coming. In fact, the upcoming Supermoon is being called a Super Supermoon by some. Myths have it turning folks into werewolves, creating higher tides and causing folks to fall in love. That's the talk about it.

There is a marvelous shot of today's supermoon on the landing page of the Carsonist. Check it out.
