On January 21st, many people in the city of Vancouver caught a glimpse of the moon looking drastically different than usual. \u00a0What you witnessed was the “Super Blood Wolf Moon” total lunar eclipse!<\/p>\n

A total lunar eclipse takes place when the Earth comes in between the Moon and the Sun, forming a straight line. \u00a0It is sometimes called a “Blood Moon’ because of its reddish colour. \u00a0In addition, this year, this supermoon<\/em>\u00a0happened to be the very first full moon of the year, and so, its name was coined after howling wolves.<\/p>\n

The total eclipse lasted about 60 minutes, and space fans were thrilled to see the changes occurring right before their very eyes.<\/p>\n

Just click on the moon picture below<\/span> to see a short video of the eclipse produced by my own brother, Dennis Yip. \u00a0Check it out!<\/p>\n

Division 11 was absolutely intrigued by the Super Blood Wolf Moon. \u00a0This seldom seen phenomenon connected nicely with our class unit on Objects in the Sky, as well as the picture book, “Taan’s Moons: \u00a0A Haida Moon Story.” \u00a0The young writers shared their thoughts and feelings about the moon in haiku form. \u00a0They accompanied their 3 lined-17 syllable poems with gorgeous art pieces that highlighted the traditional northwest coast First Peoples shapes such as ovoids, circles, split Us, and U-forms.<\/p>\n
