BLOOD MOON
A blood moon is a term used to describe the total lunar eclipse. The term blood moon is also used to describe four total lunar eclipse that happens in the span of two years, and this is called a lunar tetrad.
A total lunar eclipse happens when the Moon travels through the Earth's umbra and blocks all direct sunlight from illuminating the Moon's surface. However, some sunlight still reaches the lunar surface indirectly, a.k.a the Earth's atmosphere, making the Moon have a reddish, yellow, or orange glow.
A Super Blue Blood Moon is a result of the blue moon, super moon, and blood moon mixed all together. It is super rare and has not been seen in the last 150 years. But luckily, we get to see it on the 31st of January, 2018.
