How to watch the super flower blood moon lunar eclipse over Ontario

This Sunday night, Ontarians will get a special treat as they will be able to look up to the sky and see a super flower blood moonGlobal News spoke with Orbax Thomas, a lecturer at the University of Guelph, to help stargazers get ready for the big show.Thomas said that the earth will move between the moon and the sun on Sunday night which will cause the earth to create a shadow on the moon.

He said the floral portion of the eclipse’s name stems from the time of the year. This is when plants are budding and in the fall, when we will next get another lunar eclipse, it will be deemed a beaver eclipse as it is when the furry creatures are preparing for winter. “It’s funny, a lot of these names are taken from the old farmer’s almanacs where they name them but, you know, every culture has its own names for what the full moon represents. And a lot of Indigenous cultures have a totally different version of it that European cultures have,” he explained.

“But this one has commonly become known as the flower moon or the budding moon because of the time of year when the flowers start to bloom.”
