SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – MAY 26: Qantas flight QF1250 prepares for pushback before the Qantas Supermoon Scenic flight on May 26, 2021 in Sydney, Australia. The special three hour moon viewing flight was arranged to give passengers the opportunity to see the double phenomenon of a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse from the sky. It is the first total lunar eclipse in more than two years, which coincides with a supermoon. A super moon is a name given to a full (or new) moon that occurs when the moon is in perigee – or closest to the earth – and it is the moon’s proximity to earth that results in its brighter and bigger appearance.
