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

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.

Encore

Overnight on Tuesday, December 13, a new “supermoon” – known as the Full Cold Moon – will appear at its peak about 12,05 A.M. GMT on Wednesday, December 14. The Royal Observatory Greenwich, however, says the moon will “appear full” the night before and after. The astronomers suggest looking out for it just after sunset or before sunrise. If not, the Virtual Telescope will broadcast live streaming of the “apparition” on December 13, starting at 17,00.
