Just before sunrise tomorrow morning, we’ll be able to experience an incredibly rare celestial phenomenon, when three separate lunar events happen at the same time:
- A Super Moon. The moon will be particularly close to earth as it travels its elliptical orbit, making the full moon look bigger than usual,
- A Blue Moon. It’ll be the second full moon this month, after we had a full moon on New Years Day,
- A Blood Moon. This is the most visually obvious of the three, a lunar eclipse – where the earth blocks the moon, and the sunset-spectrum of colours that do reach the moon make it look a deep orange.
This same combination of lunar quirks won’t happen again for over 150 years, so if once-in-a-lifetime celestial events are your thing, well…
The eclipse will begin at about 6:50am CT, so you should juuust be able to enjoy its best moments at about 7:30 before the sky brightens too much ahead of sunrise.
