There is a rare phenomenon happening tonight, it is called the Super Blue Blood Moon. It has not been visible in North America for more than 150 years and I was lucky enough to hold it in my hand! This is one of my favorite pictures ever.
The rare total eclipse takes place on Wednesday January 31, combining three lunar phenomenons: A supermoon, a blue moon and a blood moon.
Viewers can expect to see a blue moon – the second full moon in a calendar month – orbiting closer to the Earth than usual, making it seem up to 14 percent larger in the sky.
If that wasn’t enough there will also be a total lunar eclipse, which is often described a blood moon because of they way the moon turns a gorgeous coppery red.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon moves directly behind the Earth’s shadow, or umbra, meaning it cannot receive any light from the Sun.

The blood moon doesn't happen until sometime between 4 and 6am. Check out my fiance's () page, he is doing a post on it first thing in the morning after he get's some good pictures.
