How to see the 'super blue blood moon' - UPI.com
UPI reports: "January is set to close with a unique full moon -- a 'super blue blood
moon.' The special pre-dawn full moon will rise on Jan. 31.
The full moon is the third of three super moons, the name given to full
moons occurring during the moon's perigee, its closest approach to
Earth. The moon will appear 14 percent larger than the average full
moon.
It's also a blue moon, as it's the second full moon to appear this month
-- a rarity, hints the phrase 'once in a blue moon.'
While everyone has a chance to see the super blue moon, only those in
the Western United States, Alaska and Hawaii will see the super blue blood moon."
Comment: Happy viewing, hope you have clear skies!
