When Will We See the Super Flower Moon in The Hudson Valley?
A local photographer, Rylan Meadows, sent us some fantastic shots he took of last weeks Super Flower Blood Moon. Now, thats a fancy name if Ive ever heard one. Lets start with Super. A super moon is a full moon that appears larger than usual. Super moons occur because the moons orbit around the earth is not a perfect circle, it is more of an oval which scientists like to call an ellipse (more fancy words). This ovular orbit means that sometimes the moon is actually closer to us than at other times. When it is closer in its orbit it appears noticeably larger and puts on one heck of a show.
