Super Flower Blood Moon eclipse timelapse
There was a Super Flower Blood Moon eclipse 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, although we could only see a partial eclipse here in Minnesota.
