On September 27 there was a Lunar Eclipse with the Moon at Perigee. The Moon was 14% larger then we normally observe it because it is at its closest approach to the Earth in its orbit.

Super Perigee Full Moon Last Night

Hope everyone was able to get a look at our Super Perigee Full Moon Last Night! The last time was in 1993 and if you missed it last night you will have to wait until 2029 for the next one. There was a very large turn-out at Custer Observatory last night to get a glimpse of the Super Full Moon through Custer's Powerful telescope! Some of our regular astronomy buffs set up their own equipment to allow visitors to view the moon along with Saturn, Constellations, Stars and Galaxies!
