Astronomers and experts have laid out all 13 full moons for the new year, and it looks like New Jersey has four Supermoons, and a partial Lunar Eclipse in our future.
Liberty Science Center is open late tonight for Lunar Mania. You can also gaze from home to see this rare nighttime display. It's the last full lunar eclipse 'til 2021.
There are truly few things that I love more than looking at the night sky. Ever since my childhood at summer camp, I've loved laying outside and gazing up at a crystal clear night sky. And this week we'll have not one, but a trio of treats in the skies over Ocean County.
After two days of mostly cloudy skies, you may have noticed something incredibly bright in the clearing skies over Ocean County tonight. And it'll get even more impressive in a little while as a rare cosmic event takes place tonight.
This Weekend you wanna look up .... there's going to be a total lunar eclipse. The timing will lead to it being a "pink moon" ... a perfect way to head into Spring.

The Moon in April is known as the "Egg Moon", "Grass Moon", and the "Hare Moon"
You'll probably be up late tonight anyway finishing those last minute taxes, so take a few minutes to step outside for a somewhat rare celestial event. Tonight (well, actually early tomorrow morning), there will be a "blood moon" lunar eclipse.
