Solar eclipse, Supermoon, Spring equinox: Friday will see three rare celestial events
As the eclipse plunges the UK and other places into darkness this Friday, two other rare if less spectacular celestial events will be taking place, too: a Supermoon and the Spring equinox.A Supermoon, or perigee moon, happens when the full or new moon does its closest fly-by of the Earth, making it look bigger than it normally does. And the spring equinox refers to the time of the year when the day and night are of equal duration, mid-way between the longest and shortest days.

That is realy neat -- thanks for sharing. The last time we had a super moon, we had a party and viewed the moon on an abandoned piece of property where there were no city lights to interfere. We used our binoculars and had fun even though very few people showed up.

That would be great to see. Seems like we get cloudy conditions when something unusual happens.
