My admittedly ridiculous title combines the best (or worst!) of many nicknames for the uncommon juxtaposition of a so-called “super moon” (in its closest orbital segment to Earth), “blood moon” (red light refracted through Earth’s atmosphere then reflected off the lunar surface), tetrad (fourth straight lunar eclipse that has been total), and harvest moon (closest full moon to the autumnal equinox). Whatever buzzy monikers one decides to affix to the phenomenon, it was a beautiful sight to behold on a cool, calm evening.
