The moonclock

Late at night between Sunday (January 20) and early Monday (January 21), the Moon will become increasingly cloaked in red shadows in one of the longest lunar eclipse for years. The Supermoon will reach its peak of visibility in Italy on early Monday at around 6,00.

The Tree on the Moon

A tree is silhouetted as a “supermoon” rises over Heho, Myanmar’s Shan State, on November 14, 2016. Skygazers headed to high-rise buildings, ancient forts and beaches on November 14 to witness the closest “supermoon” to Earth in almost seven decades, hoping for dramatic photos and spectacular surf. The moon was the closest to Earth since 1948 at a distance of 356,509 kilometres (221,524 miles), creating what NASA described as “an extra-supermoon”. Photo: Ye Aung Thu/AFP.
