Harvest Moon

Cape Cod - West Yarmouth, Massachusetts USA

Prior to the eclipse.

A lunar eclipse that coincided with a supermoon on Sunday night dazzled star-gazers across the globe. The rare event marked a celestial phenomenon that won't occur for another 18 years. As the moon made its closest proximity to Earth, it appeared up to 14 percent larger, giving way for the term supermoon.

This supermoon was also called a harvest moon due to its occurrence falling at the beginning of the autumn season.
In addition, the moon passed behind the Earth into its shadow, resulting in a red tint across its surface in what is known as a blood moon." Source: AccuWeather.com
