What a super-show the super-moon

Last March 20 we could admire an exceptional solar eclipse.

In September, in the night between the 27^th and the 28^th, between 2:10 and the 7:30 (weather permitting), the lucky ones saw a huge moon and a total eclipse. Those who woke up on purpose, certainly didn’t regret it! But why does such an event take place? The former is due to the fact that on that night the moon was at its closest point to Earth and then appeared much larger than usual (we immediately think about the legendary scene in the film “Bruce Almighty”); then there is the total eclipse of the moon, with the sun’s rays that, for reflection, make it appear red. Two shows rare in themselves that become unique if they occur simultaneously. The next similar show? You have to wait for other 20 years, in 2033. It is true that waiting increases the desire…
