Hey folks,
Today 3 rare nature phenomena come together. The last time we saw this consterlation was in 1982
We will see:
"Supermoon" which means the moon will look much bigger and lighter as usual. This is because the moon is very near to the earth at this time ( about 360 000 km which is about 25000km less then the average )
"Blue-Moon" which doesn't mean the moon is blue. It means that there is the second Fullmoon within calender month. 1st one was on the 2nd January , the second is today , January the 31th .
"Total lunar eclipse of the moon" This happens if the moon gets covered by the sandow of the earth.
The moon then looks a little bit reddish. ( This could only seen by people of Central and East-Asia , Australia and Hawaii)
For the next Super-Show of our beautiful neighbour you have to be patient, it'll be in 2037 ;)
On this picture you can see all three phenomena:

And if you are one of the lucky ones who live in Asia/Australia/Hawaii , just look out of the window ;)
Have a nice moon,
