The cloud cover prevented most of Minnesota from seeing the “supermoon” last night (one exception appears to be Grand Marais) . The moon was closer to the earth than it’s been for 18 years. We couldn’t judge for ourselves whether it was the big deal the build-up suggested it would be. Here are some images via Flickr.

About the blogger
Bob Collins
bcollins@mpr.org • @newscutBob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
