Over 1,000 people were estimated to have attended the viewing of the Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse at UC Irvine, preceded by a lecture on “The 25 Billion Planets in Our Galaxy,” by Prof. Paul Robertson. The moon was closer than average: “Super;” it was eclipsed by the Earth giving it a reddish hue: “Blood;” and the “Wolf Moon” was the first full moon of the New Year, a name given by Native Americans according to the Farmer’s Almanac.
