According to space.com, today is the day when we can see a Blue Moon, a total lunar eclipse and a supermoon all at the same time in the night sky.It is the first total lunar eclipse since 2015 and the first Blue Moon Blood Moon visible since 1866.
The spectacular lunar event, called a “Super Blue Blood Moon” features the second full moon of the month, also known as a Blue Moon, as well as a total lunar eclipse, which is often referred to as a “blood moon” because the moon turns a reddish color when it passes through Earth’s shadow. To round out the lunar trifecta, the moon will also be at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it a supermoon.
