I have to say the moon appeared unusually large today even from Sydney.
The total supermoon lunar eclipse, also known as a "blood moon", is one that appears bigger and brighter than usual as it reaches the point in its orbit that is closest to Earth.
The eclipse will last for one hour and 11 minutes and, if skies are clear, will be visible to residents in North and South America, Europe, Africa and parts of West Asia and the eastern Pacific.
Australians will miss the astronomical event, however NASA is streaming a live feed which will offer views of the eclipse from 10:00am (AEST) today.

I missed it. Heavy clouds showed up at just the right/wrong time.
