On a serious note, I wonder how many drive off the road each year and get killed looking at these phenomena

Meanwhile, the super moon also made a transit across the sky last night as it continues on its orbit around the sun.
Much like our own moon, the super moon is spherical in shape and can reach speeds of up to 600 miles per hour on a windy night.
Scientists confirmed that last nights fly over came just 300 miles from the Earths atmosphere, giving yet another dangerous but fantastic display for photographers around the world.

Ahahahah.
