Super blue blood moon has occurred overnight on 31 january 2018, where the moon has reached its closest distance to the earth.
Many people connect the phenomenon of lunar eclipses with myths associated with the mystical that can not be proven scientifically. Ranging from werewolves or better known as vampires, the rise of mummies, and around other occult realms.
But a scientific source said;
According to head of the Indonesian Meteorological and Geophysics (BMKG) meteorology agency, the phenomenon of this nature repeats itself in 150 years.
The phenomenon of the supermoon occurs when the moon is in its closest distance to Earth in full moon. This causes the full moon size to be 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than usual.
Lunar eclipses other than in eastern Asia, this rare phenomenon can also be witnessed in the western parts of Asia, the Indian Ocean, eastern Africa, and eastern Europe.
Maybe many are asking, why this rare natural phenomenon is also called the super blue or blue moon ...?
That is not to say the full moon of the moon is blue, but the full moon of January this time occurs 2 times after the full moon of January 1, 2018, where usually in every month the full moon calendar occurs only 1 time per month, or within 29 day.
full moon after lunar eclipse 11.30 pm
I feel fortunate to see the rare natural phenoma. ranging from eclipse to a big full moon.
Although the sky last night is not too bright a little cloudy, but still can be clearly seen the phenomenon of lunar eclipse.
