A blood red supermoon will light up Australian skies on Wednesday evening. Here s how to see it By Genelle Weule
There s a big red moon on the rise tomorrow night right across Australia, so grab your cameras and head outside if the weather is clear.
The heavens are lining up in the first total lunar eclipse to be seen across Australia since July 2018.
And this lunar eclipse also just happens to occur shortly after the Moon is closest to Earth (perigee), so that makes it a blood red supermoon (or a perigee-syzygy eclipse, if you want to use the astronomical term).

Stargazers across the Pacific Rim can cast their eyes skyward on Wednesday night and behold a Super Blood Moon , as the heavens align to bring a rare celestial twin treat.
The first total lunar eclipse in two years is happening at the same time as the moon is closest to Earth, in what astronomers say will be a once-in-a-decade show.
If the skies are clear, anyone living between Australia and the central United States will be able to see an enormous, bright, orangey-red moon.
