Actually, the next will be in 2033 
But the proverbial stars only align for this event once every few decades, making this phenomenon much rarer than a supermoon or a lunar eclipse separately. The last supermoon/lunar eclipse combination occurred in 1982 and the next won’t happen until 2033. "That’s rare because it’s something an entire generation may not have seen," said Petro.

The eclipse should be spectacular, and the forecast here is for clear skies!
I'll get the photo gear prepped tomorrow and try to snag some images for you folks.

We actually have been promised clearing weather for a change. And haven't looked at the visibility path of the 2033 one, or even it's date and time. So I'll probably do the same.

Screwed that up, didn’t I? Thank you for setting the record straight. Should have double checked. That still puts the next one at 13 years out.
This video helps explain how special it is, same one as in the article for that don't click links.

I posted a link over in the global contest thread after someone said something like "no way will they classify our vape as a tobacco product". Hopefully it opened a few eyes to the fact that, that is exactly what they are trying to do.

Mount Victoria lookout in Wellington New Zealand
If you can't watch the lunar eclipse tonight, you can watch this moon rising from a few years ago in New Zealand here:

Enta, cool video! Don’t think we’re going to see anything here, clouds pretty thick (but not a drop of rain). You can see it online. Here’s one place, sure there are others. http://time.com/4050491/supermoon-eclipse-livestream-video/ Going to go for a walk and see if we get lucky, then probably come back and watch it on the computer. Sucks.34,989

A beautiful sight! I'm clicking away with the camera from my front porch, every few minutes.
Maybe I'll even get a couple of good ones.
I'll be back.
Wahoo to 35k as well!!

And obviously I can't get any numbers correct with this. It will be 18 years until this happens again, not 13. I'll keep on vaping instead of smoking in hopes I'll make it that long.
Thank you for the photos! It was cloudy here, only now just starting to see it. Good news it we're seeing some of it.

Happy to!
And for those not familiar with the Pacific NW, that's the top of Mt. Rainier, seen from WSW. (Should have put that in with the pic....

Straight from the cam card with no teasing whatsoever:
ETA:I guess some teasing is required, files are too big. I'll be back.
