See Stunning Photos Of The Rare Super Blue Blood Moon Sighting From All Over The World
An amazing spectacle of nature which dazzled sky gazers.
For the first time in 35 years, a blue moon synced up with a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse. NASA called it a lunar trifecta: the first "Super Blue Blood Moon" since 1982.
Though each of the phenomenon occurs with some frequency on its own, the combination of all three on one day is unusual. That combination won't happen again until 2037.
Why is it called a #SuperBlueBloodMoon?

Supermoon – When the Moon is at or near its closest point to Earth
Blue Moon – The second full moon in a month
Blood Moon – The red tint Earth’s shadow casts on the Moon during a lunar eclipse
