Early-rising Alaskans and night owls will be treated Wednesday morning to a celestial trifecta: a super blue blood moon.   

Omega Smith is the planetarium manager at University of Alaska Anchorage. She said it is the first super blue blood moon in about 150 years. 

​“It is a spectacular event but it is going on all night long, so it’s not something that’s one moment,” Smith said. “For astro-photographers, you can go out and capture it as the shadow goes across the moon. And it makes some spectacular photos.”

What started with just two frisky cats — became a big problem for one Juneau resident.

The owner called Gastineau Humane Society on Monday. The next day, the humane society removed 25 cats from the Mendenhall Valley home. Taking in the animals alone will cost the organization an estimated $10,000.

Executive Director Samantha Blankenship estimates that it was about a 1,200-square-foot home, with one or two small bedrooms. (Read more at ktoo.org)
