Get ready for the eclipse of the supermoon! This Sunday evening, the United States and much of the world will see skies graced by a bright, big moon that will then be cloaked in a total lunar eclipse. And you can watch the event live on explore!
A supermoon occurs when the moon is both full and the closest to the earth all year, which makes it appear 14% larger and 30% brighter in the night sky. Then, in an even more rare and spectacular phenomenon, the earth will stand between it and the sun, casting its shadow on the lunar surface – the first time a supermoon has been eclipsed in 30 years.
Check out our Lake Tahoe Cam before 7:11 pm PT, when the moon will look massive and begin taking on a reddish tint. The total eclipse will last over an hour.
Take snapshots of the eclipse and share them here and on the Lake Tahoe chat board. We’ll post our favorites on Twitter!

So looking forward to this! Explore.org and Charlie, you rock!!
I am so excited about this rare event and so happy that you posted the cam best to see it from as it will probably be cloudy where I live. Thank you!!!
Yay!!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you, Explore.org, for broadcasting this live!!
If it’s cloudy at my house I’m heading for yours! Thanx Explore!
I get to see so many beautiful moments and places with you. Thank you explore.
Is that the only cam that can show it? It’ll be a darker eclipse on the east coast. Can’t one of those cams be manipulated to show it, as well?
This is the cam where you’ll get the best view of it.
so where is it…i guess i missed it
I am getting out 4 am here in Norway, counting down the hours, its gonna be great. Hope I get to take some good photos 🙂 wooohooo
We’d love to see your photos, May!
My cam did not take any good pics in the park, but we are lucky Charlotte got some nice ones. Great bloodmoon and very cold. Pics 🙂

This one, too! Thank you so much!
Hei May 🙂 How is the weather prognoses in your part of the country? Sør-trøndelag/border to Sweden doesn’t look good by now… I’m counting on you and your camera 🙂 (Mao: Jeg stoler på deg!) AMa hilser.
Good morning from a beauiful but very early morning here. Its perfect weather here and light looks good from my livingroom. Meeting up with friends just before 4 am, going to the park to watch it. I live close to Oslo and last 2 years we even had beatiful northern light as well :-))
Try have a look from this place as well, it went live 30 min ago 🙂

Ah, thank you very much! I used this link, amongst others :))
My cam was not taking good pics, so am waiting for some pics from another one who I think got some good ones. We did get very cold, but all very pleased to see it all 🙂
Bra, May! 🙂 I’m looking forward to see pictures when morning comes (I mean noon…it’s already morning) What a night! I was watching VG, nasa and a couple of other sites…..it was wonderful to see the moon turn into copper 🙂 What a beautiful moon this earth of ours has!
Thank you, May, it was a pleasure:))
Thank you, was a nice night/early morning :-))
Great Pics May !
Thanks Rose :-))
I’m so pissed. Every time there’s supposed to be a celestial event, it’s cloudy here. I hate living in NJ!
Same here in mi
It doesn’t appear the Lake Tahoe Cam is live. Am I doing something wrong?
i think maybe too soon?
I clicked on the wrong link. But it is looking pretty cloudy in Tahoe. I’ll probably have better luck here in CA because it’s clear here.
May I ask which link you are using?
I went back to the Explore blog post about the moon. In the write-up there is a link in green writing about the Lake Tahoe camera. When I clicked on that link, the live camera came up.
Cloudy àll of a sudden 🙁
The note above says 7:11 PT…so in about 1 1/2 hrs I hope
I clicked on a different link and got to the correct place. Thank you!
