Super BlueBlood Moon
The firstmonth of 2018 will conclude with a “super blue blood moon”
—a rarecelestial event last seen in 1866.
Thephenomenon, due on Jan. 31, occurs when a supermoon, blue
moon, andtotal lunar eclipse take place simultaneously.
A supermoonis the lunar body at perigee, its closest approach to Earth: Normally anaverage of 238,855 miles from us, the moon will be roughly
16,000 milescloser on Jan. 31, making it appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percentbrighter than usual.
Thesuper-moon will coincide with January’s second full moon, or blue moon. Andthey will both take place at the same time as a total lunar eclipse, when thesun, Earth, and the moon are aligned, with the moon in Earth’s shadow. During atotal lunar eclipse, the sunlight refracted through Earth’s atmosphere givesthe lunar surface a reddish hue—an effect known as a “blood moon.”
“We’reseeing all of Earth’s sunrises and sunsets at that moment reflected from thesurface of the moon,” NASA program scientist Sarah Noble tells Forbes.com. Thebest views of the super blue blood moon will be from central and eastern Asia,Indonesia, New Zealand, and Australia—
butstargazers in Alaska and Hawaii could also catch a glimpse.
