In case pesky clouds obscure tonight’s #SuperBloodMoon Eclipse….

you can watch the eclipse via NASA livestream: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/watchtheskies/live-feed-of-sundays-supermoon-eclipse.html

You may still submit a selfie for extra credit! Follow instructions posted the other day, but take a picture of where the moon is…Look for a bright spot behind the clouds….NOT THAT IT WILL BE CLOUDY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT 🙂
