Super Flower Blood Moon wows Minnesotans Wednesday morning

There was a Super Flower Blood Moon visible in the sky early Wednesday morning.

The phenomenon got its name because it was at its closest point to the Earth during May, when flowers bloom. It was also a lunar eclipse, with the moon covered by Earth’s shadow, turning it red.  

Here in Minnesota, we could only see a partial eclipse, while people on the west coast could see the total eclipse.
