Supermoon Will Collide With Lunar Eclipse For “SuperBloodMoon” Sunday Night

Supermoon Will Collide With Lunar Eclipse For "SuperBloodMoon" Sunday Night At this point, even the most delightful Neil deGrasse Tyson voiceover can’t get us that enthusiastic about another beautiful, perfect, incandescent Supermoon. Oh sure, the lunar perigee made the moon look like an apocalyptic peach back in 2011, but we need a little more out of our lunar phenomenons these days.
