Super Blue Blood Moon

In the early hours of January 31, the moon will do something it hasn’t since 1866. A supermoon, blue moon and lunar eclipse will coincide for a rare and spectacular astronomical feast.
Our faithful satellite will shine big, bright—and red.

A lunar eclipse is visible to stargazers in the half of the world in darkness while this lineup takes place.
Astronomers in the western U.S., Australia and much of Canada, Russia and Asia will be able to see the moon in total eclipse. A partial eclipse will be visible across the eastern U.S., India, eastern Europe and Scandinavia. You can find out what kind of view you’ll have in your local area here.
