The Lunar Eclipse is happening right now. But, the Moon is over the horizon, I can't see it. That makes it difficult to take a picture. With the Starry Night software I can change my viewing location. So, I took a quick trip to Honolulu, Hawaii to look at the Full Moon, and Lunar Eclipse. The eclipse is simulated in the Starry Night software, and appears red like the eclipsed moon should. That is why it is called a Blood Moon...
It is a Super Moon because the Moon is at the Perigee of its orbit, appears larger. It is a Blood Moon because it is a Full Lunar Eclipse. Then it is a Flower Moon because it is May, and the Flowers are blossoming...
