Answer a few Questions: Day 3 - January 31, 2018 finished

                             About Space

1. Super Blue Blood Moon
    -Who on earth will be able to see it?
      On Jan. 31, not every place on Earth will see the Blue             Moon this month, because the second full moon of                 January won't technically appear in those places until             Feb. 1. These places include regions in eastern Asia               and  eastern Australia, where skywatchers won't see the         first full moon until Jan. 2 and the next full moon until the         morning of Feb. 1. For example, in Melbourne,                       Australia, the full moon arrives on Jan. 2 at 1:24 p.m.             local time, and the next full moon is on Feb. 1 at 1:26             a.m., so sky watchers will technically miss the Blue                 Moon by less than 2 hours.

          But their fellow Aussies in Perth, in the southwestern               part of the country, will get one, since the first full moon           occurs on Jan. 2 at 10:24 a.m. local time, so the moon           will still look quite full when it rises at 7:35 p.m. On Jan.           31, the moon rises at 7:09 p.m. and reaches fullness at           9:26 p.m.

    -When was the last time and is the next time?
      The last Blue Moon occurred in July 2015 and in 2018,            we'll experience two of them, a phenomena that won't            happen for another 19 years. The second Blue Moon is          slated to occur in late March. The Blood Moon occurs            because the Earth is passing between the Moon and              the  Sun, which gives the Moon a reddish tint to it.

Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse

On the night of the Blue Moon on January 31 (UTC), there will be a total lunar eclipse in some areas, including in most of North America, Asia, and Australia.

Where is the total lunar eclipse on Jan 31, visible?

A totally eclipsed Moon, sometimes called a Blood Moon, usually looks red, so this may be a rare opportunity to see a red Blue Moon. If this isn't enough, it is also almost a supermoon, earning it the nickname Super Blue Blood Moon

Double Blue Moon in 2018

In 2018, there are two Full Moons in both January and March in most time zones, which is sometimes called a double Blue Moon. Check the Moon Phase page to see if this is the case in your location.

Two Definitions of Blue Moon

1. Seasonal Blue Moon = The third Full Moon in an astronomical season with four Full Moons (versus the usual three).
2. Monthly Blue Moon = The second Full Moon in a month with two Full Moons.

How Rare Is a Blue Moon?

The term once in a Blue Moon means that something is rare. Blue Moons happen once every two or three years. In the 1100 years between 1550 and 2650 (UTC), there are 408 seasonal Blue Moons and 456 monthly Blue Moons.

Double Blue Moons happen only about 3 to 5 times in a century. The next year that has two months with two Full Moons each will be 2037, while the last time, was in 1999.

Other combinations of Blue Moons also exist. Between 1550 and 2650 there are 20 years which have one seasonal and one Monthly Blue Moon. The next time is in 2048 while the last time was in 1934. Triple Blue Moons, a combination of one seasonal and two monthly Blue Moons in the same calendar year, happens 21 times in the same time span. The next is in 2143, while the last time was in 1961.

There can never be a double seasonal Blue Moon, as that would require 14 Full Moons in the same year, which is not possible because the time between two Full Moons is approximately 29.5 days.

What is a supermoon?

Supermoons  happen when a full moon approximately coincides with the moon's perigee, or a point in its orbit at which it is closest to Earth. This makes the moon appear up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than usual.

While the moon's average distance is 238,000 miles (382,900 km) from Earth, its orbit isn't perfectly circular, so that distance varies a small amount. The perigee for January's supermoon is the closest of this year. 

When to see the supermoon

The first supermoon of 2018 peaks at 9:24 p.m. EST (0224 GMT Tuesday Jan. 2). For observers in New York City, the moon will rise in the east-northeastern sky at 4:34 p.m. EST and stay up through the night, setting the morning of Jan. 2 at 7:36 a.m. EST, according to timeanddate.com. Look for the moon in or near the constellation Gemini.

While the moon is officially full on Jan. 1, it will still appear full to the casual observer the night before and after. 

The second supermoon of January will occur on Jan. 30 and 31. The moon will reach perigee at 4:54 a.m. EST (0954 GMT) on Jan. 30, at a distance of 223,069 miles (358,995 km) from Earth, according to EarthSky.org. Then, on Jan. 31, the moon reaches its full phase at 8:27 a.m. EST (1327 GMT) coincides with a total lunar eclipse. NASA has billed the Jan. 31 moon a "super blue blood moon" despite the gap between the moon's arrival at perigee and its peak full phase.

Blood Moon...                                           Logan.S

What Is The Blood Moon: A total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a Blood Moon, because of the reddish tinge the Full Moon takes on when fully eclipsed. The term is also frequently used to describe four total lunar eclipses that occur in a row.

When Do They Appear: The big red moon also called the "The Blood Moon" does not appear as often as you think they only happen once (1) every 1-3 years. The next "Blood Moon" will be happening Jan 31 2018. After that it will happen Jul 27-28, 2018, followed by Jan 20-21, 2019, then May 26, 2021 and last will occur May 15-16, 2022.  

How Do They Happen:  They happen when the earth sun and moon all Aline in a straight line.

How Does The Moon Turn Red: The moon turn's a special shade of red in many part's of the world as the earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting it's shadow on the Moon's surface. 

How The Earth Cast's It's Shadow: The Moon does not have any light unlike the sun. It shines because the surface reflects sunlight. During a total lunar eclipse.

Why Red: The reason why the Moon takes on a reddish color during totality is a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. It is the same mechanism responsible for causing colorful sunrises and sunsets and the sky to look blue.
