Super Moon

For those that love superstition or perhaps a good glimpse of the moon, there is reason to celebrate the arrival of 2018.

Watch the sky tonight June 5th for a chance to experience a once in a lifetime phenomenon: the planet Venus slowly crossing the sun. The event, known as a “ Venus Transit,” won’t happen again until 2117. Museums and schools around the world are hosting Venus viewing parties. There are three such events planned in Western New York.

Amateur astronomers may want to dust off their telescopes, because a massive full moon — aka a “supermoon” — will arrive this weekend and it’ll be the year’s biggest.
