You can look at it with no fear of damage to your eyes. It's only the sixth one in the last one-hundred fifteen years. There won't be another one for 18 years. The excitement was running high for the Supermoon, and Mother Nature didn't disappoint.

Julie and I packed up the car and her camera and tripod and headed north, finally settling on a spot northeast of Robins to watch the lunar eclipse early this evening. We sat in that spot for well over an hour as the lunar eclipse combined with the closest full moon of 2015 to show the splendor of the Supermoon lunar eclipse. It went from being very bright to very dark in our chosen spot over that 90+ minutes as the full moon passed through the darkest part of the Earth's shadow. The eclipse started at 7:11 Iowa time. The total eclipse began exactly two hours later, before peaking at 9:47.

Below is a photographic look at tonight's Supermoon lunar eclipse in the order it happened as it made its first appearance since 1982, ironically enough the year The Weather Channel debuted on television.
