well, if you were up early enough this morning you may have been lucky enough to see a stunning red moon like this. it's a lunar eclipse, called the super blood wolf moon, and was visible across the uk, in places that weren't covered by cloud. the unusual event happens when the earth passes precisely between the sun and the moon, as our science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. eerie and beautiful. it's happened for billions of years, yet each time, there's a sense of awe and wonder when the moon turns blood red. across the uk, stargazers gathered to witness one of nature's greatest spectacles. at first i was really sceptical. i thought i can't see any red, you know. and then it got sort of redder and redder and i was sort of convinced it was red. so really don't want to stop looking, really. just keep having another glance at it. it was enjoyed by crowds in los angeles. this year, amateur astronomers

a blood moon is red, red because of the light. that is more obvious. ellipse. and it is a great name, it is popular, but it is a bit exaggerated, really. the reason for the bowls as because this just shows you the relative size of the moon went it is at its closest, which is... so if you think about looking at the blue bowl in the background, thatis at the blue bowl in the background, that is how big the moon would look at its closest, which it more or less is now, compared with that its farthest, which is the white bowl. so it is a bit bigger, but to be honest it is only marginally bigger. so right now the moon is setting. if you have clear sky, the moon is in the west. lower down, it will look very big. but it is not really this supermoon effect, it is an optical illusion caused whenever the moon is near the horizon. any full moon lowdown will look big. this is the moon from los angeles, it has been more red or orange throughout the night. again, it is quite confusing, in the middle of the night, during the eclipse, it looks very dark and very red. t

from jerusalem to los angeles to santiago in chile, moon gazers took to the streets to see a huge red moonhe first hour, as the moon passes behind the earth, it is gradually swallowed by the planet‘s shadow. then, without the sun illuminating the moon, it appears tinted in hues of red, orange and pink. when you see this brilliant red colour and it actually varies depending on your location, the atmosphere lights up the moon, so what you are seeing with this red colour is the sunrise and sunset of the earth illuminating the moon. afterwards it to bright and shining. it has been given the unusual sounding name of a super blood wolf moon. tonight we have a super blood wolf moon. tonight we have a super itiooi'i blood wolf moon. tonight we have a super moon because blood wolf moon. tonight we have a super moon because it is far and it is close to the eye. it is able from an because it is the january full itiooi'i an because it is the january full moon and the blood moon because it isa lunar moon and the blood moon because it is a lunar eclipse. here, hopes were dashed by a cloudy night but spe

but when the moon passes into the central part of the shadow, that‘s the bit when it turns red. ough the atmosphere of the earth, and it‘s the red light that makes it through. and so that it then falls onto the moon and makes the moon like rad. it‘s kind of a similar effect to what we see during sunset when it‘s the red light coming through the sun that we see. so it‘s about the way that the suns light moves through the earths atmosphere. so if you‘re up late, or up early, and you want to have a look at it, what special equipment if any do you need? while this is what is so wonderful about a literary clips, you don‘t need anything special at all. it‘s com pletely need anything special at all. it‘s completely safe to let that, all you need are your eyes, if you have a pairof need are your eyes, if you have a pair of binoculars get them out have a look at the moon, or if you have a small telescope, get that out as well. but it‘s fantastic, it‘s accessible to everybody. so as long as we have clear weather, you don‘t need anything special to see this wonderful event. i think mars is

first, there will be a lunar eclipse which temporarily turns the moon a bright red color. hence the name, "blood moon." second, the moon will look bigger because it's the closest it will be to earth during its orbit, about 225,000 miles away. that's why it's called a super moon. and finally, the first full moon in january gets its nickname, "the wolf moon," from native americans. it was named after the wolves that would howl at the moon while hunting for food in mid-winter. this trifecta happens between january 20 and 21. if you miss this eclipse, don't worry. there are four other lunar or solar eclipses happening later this year. that's it for this edition of "matter of fact." we'll see you next week.
