First Blue Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in 150 Years Coming This Month
space.com ^

Posted on 01/07/2018 8:48:26 AM PST by BenLurkin

The eclipse will take place during the middle of the night, and the Pacific Ocean will be turned toward the moon at the time. Central and eastern Asia, Indonesia, New Zealand and most of Australia will get a fine view of this moon show in the evening sky. Heading farther west into western Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the eclipse will already be underway as the moon rises.

To the east, Alaska, Hawaii and northwestern Canada will see the eclipse from start to finish. Moonset will intervene for the rest of North and Central America, however.

Being the second full moon this month it is also considered a “blue moon” and insofar as it is only a partial eclipse when viewed from the continental US it will appear red so it is also a blood moon. What’s more, the second full moon of the year is called a, “snow moon” so it can also be considered white therefore this super moon is Red, White and Blue.

“The eclipse will take place during the middle of the night”

How rare is that?

It happens all the time since it's always nighttime somewhere. ;-)
