When the supermond lights up the night

Last night, the moon came very close to the earth, at the same time a lunar eclipse in blood-red light appeared. Here are the best snapshots of the "Super Blue Blood Moon".

On Wednesday night, the Moon came very close to Earth on its elliptical orbit. That's why he appeared extraordinarily tall on the horizon - a so-called super moon. In addition, the moon was a "Blue Moon", the second full moon within a month, and it came to a lunar eclipse, but you could not see from Germany. The super moon, however, even if the sky gazers in many areas, the weather got in the way. But in some places the clouds broke and the moon shone between them. Like over the mountain Wank near Garmisch-Partenkirchen or next to a wind turbine in the Upper Bavarian town of Glonn.

Clearer was the sky above the Spanish capital of Madrid, where the moon shone through the skyscrapers of the city.

In the Philippines, the moon illuminated the steaming volcano Mayon .

and in Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw the supermond stood over the Uppatasanti Pagoda.
