VIDEO: Full Super Blood Moon to See Total Eclipse
chesapeakebaymagazine.com
It’s like a full moon trifecta. A “super moon” that looks bigger than normal, a “blood moon” that looks redder than normal, and a total lunar eclipse, will all happen on the same night this weekend. On Sunday night, January 20, if the weather cooperates, you can catch a glimpse of all thre...The roadways are still a bit sketchy and the temperature could be dangerous to some folks. Sadly we have decided to CANCEL our full moon hike tonight at Kendrick Woods. BUT! remember there is still a beautiful full moon tonight that will be a total eclipse. Grab your binoculars and sit in the warmth of your south and east facing windows to observe the last total lunar eclipse of this decade. Beginning at 1034ish, mid totality at 12:12am, finishing up by 130ish. Dust particles in our atmosphere will make the eclipsed moon appear rusty red. Take some pics and post them to our page!
Stay warm and keep looking up!
As we wait for the predicted snow and frigid temperatures this weekend, remember our wildlife. When we're cold, they're colder. Top-off your bird feeders and keep water sources from freezing solid with a birdbath de-icer or heated birdbath.

Hopefully the skies will be clear for our Full Moon Hike on Sunday January 20 at Kendrick Woods @ 7:30p
This happens to be the Wolf Moon- the name the Native Americans gave to the January full moon. It is also one of the 3 supermoons in 2019- where the moon is closer to the earth in its elliptical orbit. As the earth's shadow passes over the moon, atmospheric particles (and some other science) causes the moon to appear red, thus making it a "blood moon". It is also a total lunar eclipse, but that begins about 10:30p -well after the end of the hike.This January 20-21 full moon is being called a "super blood wolf moon".The moon will make its journey across the sky from east to west. The entire eclipse will last over 3 hours from beginning to end, with mid-totality happening exactly at 12:12am January 21st. Cross your fingers for a clear night and join us for a crispy cold night hike at Kendrick Woods. Stay up and watch the eclipse from the windows of your toasty home.
