Last year in Sydney, there was a lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse is when the earth’s shadow covers the moon (lunar, means moon). It makes the moon look blood-red!

The article’s title is: ‘Never mind a blue moon, it’s been eclipsed’.
This title comes from the saying: ‘Once in a blue moon’. It means ‘rarely’.

Let me know in the comments!
My memories aren’t so clear, but I think that I’ve seen 2 eclipses in my life, and it’s been a long time since the last one.
And what I like to do once in a blue moon is to ski on ice. I really like it, but I don’t do it very often.
yes I saw a lunar eclipse and also a sun eclipse, it was been spectacular, there was a magic atmosphere.
I watch the television once in a blue moon . I haven’t the television.!
bye
