Did you see the super blood wolf moon Sunday?

Juddie Brandes of Silver Lake did. And she shared some of the photos she took of the phenomenon.

Here’s how National Geographic explained this moon, the result of a total lunar eclipse:

During totality, the full moon does not disappear entirely and instead turns a rusty shade of red, earning it the moniker “blood moon.” This lunar eclipse happens to coincide with the wolf moon, the traditional name for the January full moon. What’s more, the moon will be unusually close to Earth and so will be slightly bigger and brighter, making it a so-called supermoon.”
