63 Super Sport Posted December 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hi to everyone- Did you see the supermoon last night (December 3)? December's supermoon was actually the first of three back-to-back supermoon full moons to come in the next two months. On Jan. 1 and Jan. 31, the full moon will also occur near the moon's arrival at perigee, according to NASA, which billed the line up as a supermoon trilogy (https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/news-articles/a-supermoon-trilogy). The Jan. 31 supermoon is also the second full moon of January, making it a Blue Moon, and also occurs during a total lunar eclipse. If you are sailing on Jan 1 or Jan 31 you will get to see part of the trilogy. We will be on the Crown Princess on Jan 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers36 Posted December 5, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Island on Jan 31 ... probably not far off equator (I'd have to check). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted December 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Here's a website with a map showing the visibility of the eclipse on Jan. 31, 2018: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2018-january-31 We'll just get a partial eclipse on the East Coast. One of my favorite cruise memories is staying up after midnight for a total lunar eclipse on the Island Princess in December 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
