Last night the world (well, most of it) was treated to a Blue Moon, which was also a Blood Moon, which was also a Supermoon – an event that hasn’t occurred in some parts of the world for 150 years.
While some places (sorry, Sydney) missed out on the show, other parts of the world caught a spectacular sight.

This is my favourite, though:
I wasn’t able to get a good photo of the #SuperBlueBloodMoon
But I did open the exposer long enough for this bad boy. pic.twitter.com/lAbczNERrV— Astrokerrie (@Astrokerrie) January 31, 2018
