Super blue blood moon

On January 31st, when you look up in the sky, you’ll notice a moon unlike any other you’ve probably ever seen.

Three celestial events that have not coincided in more than 150 years will affect the appearance of the next full moon on which will take place on January 31, an event which has been described as a super blue blood moon eclipse. So, call it whatever you wish, a red moon, a blue moon, or a supermoon, the event we are about to witness hasn’t been seen in more than 150 years according to experts.

So what exactly is happening?

First of all, the January 31 supermoon will feature a total lunar eclipse, with a totality visible all the way from western North America up through the Pacific and eastern Asia.
The orbit of the Moon around our planet is tilted, so it usually falls above or below the shadow of the Earth.
