Super Blue Blood Moon

Who is able to see the super blood moon?

The eclipse will be visible from the Pacific area of the world as well as Eastern Asia.

When was the last super blood moon? and when will the next occurrence happen? 

The last super blood moon happend 150 years ago and will happen again in 2037.

Whats Happening in the World

Australian Open

ACSS Pros and Cons

          Pros:

    I would say things like sports,activities and clubs are doing well in this school especially things like the drama and music club.I also like that we have two computer labs as some schools don't even have one.

        Cons:

   One thing I wish could happen for the school is that things like the weight room and even the gymnasiums would be open after school as it would give students that might not have P.E in their semester and can't exercise outside of school for some physical activity. Yes the students could join one of the school team sports for physical activity. But some students may not have time for the team sports and so maybe leaving the weight room/gymnasiums open for an hour after school would be beneficial for students.

So, what makes a supermoon different?

  Some lunar perigees are closer than others. The shape of the Moon’s orbit changes over time (thanks to the gravitational influence of the Sun and the other planets).
Extreme perigees and apogees, or the most distant point in the orbit, happen on a predictable basis. Something that’s out of the ordinary: Having a full moon at the same time as an extreme perigee.

"Once in a blue moon..." means seldom or absurd.


 But, believe it or not, sometimes the moon really does turn blue, usually after volcanic eruptions or major forest fires. Volcanoes and wildfires fill the air with ash and dust. If the airborne particles are just the right size--about 1 micron (one millionth of a meter) wide--they act like a color-filter, tinging the moon blue. Clouds of water droplets, ice crystals or fine-grained sand can do the same thing.


There are other reasons for odd-looking moons, notes atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley. "Our eyes have automatic 'white balances' just like digital cameras. Go outdoors from a cosy cabin lit by an oil lamp (yellow light) and the moon will appear blue until your eyes adjust."

So, why does the Moon turn red?

A total lunar eclipse happens when the Moon travels through the Earth's umbra and blocks all direct sunlight from illuminating the Moon's surface. However, some sunlight still reaches the lunar surface indirectly, via the Earth's atmosphere, bathing the Moon in a reddish, yellow, or orange glow.

As the Sun's rays pass through the atmosphere, some colors in the light spectrum—those towards the violet spectrum—are filtered out by a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. This is the same mechanism that causes colorful sunrises and sunsets. Red wavelengths are least affected by this effect, so the light reaching the Moon's surface has a reddish hue, causing the fully eclipsed Moon to take on a red color.
