Super Duper Blue Blood Moon Rare Lunar Event January 31, 2018




On January 31, 2018, a Super Blue Blood Moon will be visible from the United States for the first time since 1866.

It is a Super Moon because on January 30th the Moon will be at the point in its orbit that is closest to Earth.  The Moon appears to be at its largest and brightest during this time.

It is a Blue Moon because it is the second full moon during the calendar month of January. The first full moon was on January 1st.

It is a Blood Moon because the Earth will pass between the Moon and the Sun creating a shadow on the Moon. The Moon can appear reddish at this time.

It is also a Lunar Eclipse event that will be visible in Hawaii, Alaska, and Eastern Asia and Australia.
