'Super blue blood moon'
A blue moon is called when the moon is full, and occurring twice in the calendar month. The moon is on a 28-day cycle so that only happens once in a while – or, as you might say, once in a blue moon.
While the supermoon appears larger and brighter than usual as it's especially close to the Earth, during these times, the moon can appear 17 percent larger than it does at its furthest point in its orbit.
The moon doesn't orbit Earth in a perfect circle – it's an ellipse, which means there are times during the orbit that it is thousands of miles closer to Earth than others, A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth's shadow moves across the Moon, blocking out the light from the Sun.
