STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

PHOTOS BY NILS RIBI

This week’s long awaited cosmic event of a lunar eclipse, blood moon and super moon, met with mixed results in the Wood River Valley as clouds wafted through the valley right as the appointed hour, keeping some valley residents from seeing all of this rare event visible in the western hemisphere for the first time in 152 years.

Sun Valley Photographer Nils Ribi was patient, though. He spent three hours, waiting and watching. And it paid off as Ribi was able to photograph the super blue blood moon just before it entered into the eclipse. And he photographed it during the umbra phase just before it went into totality.

After a long period of cloudiness through the lunar eclipse, he said, Mother Nature was kind enough to give him a nice peak at the rare super blue blood moon just at the end of totality at 7:08 a.m. Mountain Time.
