If you didn’t see the moon Monday night, it might be worth a walk outside Tuesday night.
We are in the midst of a super blue moon, a larger-than-normal full moon. The actual peak was during the daytime hours Monday but experts say this will last until Wednesday morning.
“It’s much bigger than I thought it would be,” said Rob Allegar who was watching in Sausalito.
“It doesn’t look like the moon,” said Shannon Lantzy.
VIDEO: Northern Lights seen over CA Sunday night, and may soon be visible again
Sunday night, the aurora borealis were visible across the Northern Hemisphere including areas of California.
A super blue moon is a version of a full moon. We recorded the above video along the San Francisco Bay in Sausalito and San Francisco.
“A full moon is always impressive and when that moon is maybe a little bit bigger that just adds to the excitement,” said Stanford research scientist Dan Wilkins.
While it may be called a super “blue” moon, that does not mean it appears blue. It means a supermoon experience will coincide with a blue moon experience. The Moon is closer than usual to Earth.
