GOAL! Super moon scores on Bolte
Nina Vincitorio shot this photo of the lunar eclipse on February 1.
The night marked multiple coinciding lunar events: a blue moon, the second full moon in one month; a super moon, when the Moon is closer to the Earth; and a blood moon eclipse, when the sun’s light and the Earth’s shadow cause the eclipse to appear red.
The last time all these events occurred simultaneously was in 1866.
Vincitorio used the app Photopills to plan the shot. It showed that the moon would align perfectly with the Bolte Bridge at exactly the time of the blood moon eclipse.
