Three celestial events will combine on 31 January to create a super blue blood moon, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) said. Three, the super blue moon will pass through earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. As the second full moon of the month, this moon is also commonly known as a blue moon, though it will not be blue in appearance. The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow and take on a reddish tint, known as a blood moon,” Nasa said. According to scientists, the next total lunar eclipse that will be visible from India will take place on 27 July 2018.
