Roberta Vonderheide of Parkville still recalls the "magical moment" from 25 years ago. She watched from a boat as a reddened sun set in the west, while the full moon rose over trees to the east. "Is this a common occurrence? We never saw it again." Clouds might obscure it, but it happens every 29 days. Full moons always rise as the sun sets. What's uncommon is taking the time to watch.
