Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take the a picture of the super blue blood moon last night. But I saw it. It was bloody red!! So I were is the blue part there? :)
So what are they?
Super Moon - the moon looks specifically huge because it's close the earth.
Blood Moon - the moon is in total eclipse, will look reddish because of the sun's light and other refraction of the atmosphere
Blue Moon - a second full moon in a month; looks blue because of the particles thingy again
So all these three are combined in one event. Nice! Funny thoughts came to me. Like Since they are super blue and blood, and blood is red, we combine blue and red, it will become violet. So we should see a violet/purple colored moon, right? Haha Or maybe since violet symbolizes royalty, this moon is a great royalty from the past, a king or queen, transformed quickly as a moon to show it's beauty and grace. I could even recall a cartoon/anime "Sailor Moon" so this must be her!!! haha
But the blood part kinda prevailed among the three last night. The super part, big one, was not that obvious. Maybe because it is far from our place compared to other places in the world. Different tales of red moon from different culture would be relevant for sure. Wolfs, vampires, and other tales will be timely for this day. This is so Twilight. The different gods of the moon from different culture would also be in talks (hello Selene, Phoebe, Artemis, Hecate, Osiris). I was also expecting that various predictions will come out again with this triple combination of the moon, like it's the end of the world or someone is coming or a great disaster will happen, all those sorts. Nah, I just ignored them... for now.
Of course, since the moon affects the waters of the earth, it will also affect the human beings. We are majority made of water right? So for sure, many people may have been acting weird that night. Hopefully, nothing serious and bad effects happened because of this craziness. Just fun fun fun and something that they will laugh about when they will wake up the next day.
I also heard my colleagues planning to have a stargazing activity for this event. They would go a vacant lot, prepare their telescopes and be amazed with the moon. That's actually nice. You just lie there with you mats, gazing at the sky, appreciating the beauty of nature and spending moments with people you care. Well, this super blood moon really does lots of things.
I wonder if I would have asked for a wish last night it may have been granted.... Hmmmm, maybe next time. Oh, when will that be?
