Supermoon spectacular

People around the world were looking up into the night sky Sunday, Sept. 27 for a rare look at a lunar eclipse on the supermoon. According to NASA, the moon does not make its own light but reflects light from the sun. During a lunar eclipse, the moon appears to dim as sunlight is blocked by the Earth’s shadow. Because sunlight is refracted around the edges of Earth, almost all colours except red are filtered out and the eclipsed moon appears red or dark brown. Kevin Turner, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Brock University, captured this picture of the supermoon eclipse near campus Sunday night. The next eclipse on a supermoon will happen in 2033.
