Double feature: Lunar eclipse and Supermoon this week
Sky watchers across the U.S. will be treated to a total lunar eclipse that will also coincide with a super moon on January 20, and will finish in the early hours of January 21. The eclipse, when Earth's shadow sweeps over the lunar surface will give it a reddish tinge and turn it into what some call a "blood moon." It will be one of two lunar eclipses, and three solar eclipses in 2019. There will be a partial lunar eclipse on July 16, but the next total lunar eclipse won't come until May 26, 2021. Via earthsky

The reality is, a record number of migrant families are now crossing the border. Via usatoday
