Jakarta: the phenomenon of super blue blood moon is referred to as the phenomenon of extraordinary Lunar Eclipse. In one of the Eclipse, the Moon shows the three phenomena at once; Super moon, blue moon, and blood moon.
Practitioners of astronomy and Cecep Nurwendaya call Sighting Reckoning a Lunar Eclipse with the three phenomena at once it's been 152 years ago. Even some who call 36 years ago the phenomenon similar to super blue blood moon also never happened.
"And these three phenomena at once predicted to occur again in the next 19 years," said Cecep, the Metro in the Morning Prime Time, Wednesday January 31, 2018.
Cecep said the phenomenon of super moon indicates that the full moon will appear to be sized larger than 13 percent of normal size. Any brightness level rises of up to 30 percent more light.
"This condition because the Moon is closest to Earth is called perigee full moon with a distance of 366,210 kilometers from the Earth," he said.
In addition to the super moon, the phenomenon of blood moon will also occur. Interestingly, blood moon is estimated to take place long enough around 76 minutes with the color red.
