Super Blue Blood Moon

It's not often that you get to say a "super blue blood moon" is coming.

But that's exactly what we will get on January 31, for the first time in more than 150 years.

For the first time since March 31, 1866, we will have a total lunar eclipse that happens during the second full moon of a calendar month and also happens to occur when the full moon is near the point of its orbit that brings it closer to Earth. That's a blood moon, a blue moon, and a super moon all at once.

The total eclipse will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere, with totality visible from the western parts of North America to Eastern Asia. Other regions will be able to see some parts of the eclipse.

!!!Don’t Forget To Watch!!!

For those interested: It will start passing into the Earth’s shadow at our location shortly before the break of dawn (4:51 a.m. CST) and observers will be able to watch the setting moon fall into total eclipse while the sky is still reasonably dark, right at the moment of moonset, about 6:51 a.m. CST, provided that you have an unobstructed view of the southwest sky at dawn.
