Last night Europe and the rest of the western hemisphere experienced a blood moon in conjunction with a super moon – an lunar eclipse with the moon at its apogee. By the time the Australian continent rolled around to the night sky, the eclipse had finished, but we still had a huge apogeean moon. This was taken in Moreton Bay just as it rose – although it might look like it is a blood moon, the red colour is simply due to the light coming from it through the dust in the atmosphere.
