SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON JANUARY 31, 2018

Don’t miss out on your chance to witness the SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON 🌚 JANUARY 31st 

The Blue Moon (second of two full moons in one calendar month) will pass through the Earth’s shadow on January 31, 2018, to give us a total lunar eclipse! Totality (when the moon will be entirely inside the Earth’s dark umbral shadow) will last a little over an hour. This full moon is also the third in a series of three straight full moon supermoons (super-close full moons). While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a blood moon. So it’s not just a lunar eclipse, or a Blue Moon, or a supermoon. It’s all three, a Super Blue Blood Moon! We on the West Coast will have some of the best seats in the world for this trifecta! NASA TV and nasa.gov/live will be providing live feed.
