Super Blue Blood Moon
The moon begins to disappear over the Warwick River early Wednesday morning January 31, 2018. This event is known as a super blue blood moon. The blue moon refers to the second full moon occurring in the same month and a supermoon is when a full moon is at its closest point in orbit to Earth. When that is combined with a total lunar eclipse the moon will appear red. (Rob Ostermaier) 
The Moon begins to set over Christopher Newport Hall Wednesday morning January 31, 2018. The super blue blood moon was visible for the first time in nearly 152 years. NASA refers to the super blue blood moon as a trio of lunar events all occurring at once: the second full moon in one calendar month (a blue moon), at its closest orbital approach to Earth (a supermoon) during a lunar eclipse (a blood moon).
