On January 20-21, we saw the first full moon of 2019, and the first lunar eclipse of 2019 (and this is an eclipse-heavy year, with three solar and two lunar eclipses).
It was viewed from North and South America, Greenland, Iceland, Europe,
northern and western Africa, plus the Arctic region of the globe.
The eclipse happened on the night of the year’s first of three straight full supermoons,
meaning the moon was nearly at its closest to Earth for this January, as the eclipse took place.
Now here’s a single, sad last thing.
This will be the last total lunar eclipse to grace Earth’s sky until May 26, 2021.
