A SUPERMOON, BLUE MOON, AND LUNAR ECLIPSE ON JANUARY 31
SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON ECLIPSEHeard about this “Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse” on January 31? A Blue Moon, Supermoon, and a Blood Moon? So, what does this mean? A Moon that’s super-big? One that’s blue? One that’s blood red? Maybe a combination of blue and red! A Purple Supermoon? Here’s what you need to know—plus, best places to view this lunar eclipse.
“Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse” is the description many Web sites are giving for the full Moon coming up. A convergence of all three events last happened 150 years ago.
It’s “super” because it’s a close full Moon, and theoretically larger than average.
It’s blue because a Blue Moon is the name for a second full Moon in the same calendar month.
It’s a “Blood Moon” because it will be the night of a total lunar eclipse, which normally turns the full Moon coppery red. Put ‘em all together and that’s what you’ve got.
Actual astronomers smile and shake their heads at these catchy names. They really want more people to watch the sky, and having names for things helps with publicity.Call it what you wish! Each celestial event is interesting in itself. Sometimes the celestial rhythms just sync up to make us wonder.
SUPERMOON
January 31 is the grand finale of a trilogy of Supermoons that have been taking place since early December.“Supermoon” is a new term. No one used it until a few years ago. Instead, the Moon’s closest approach to Earth—full or otherwise—was called a Perigean Moon. The problem is that even the very closest Moon does not look any larger than your average normal Full Moon. The size difference is too small for the naked eye to detect. But, okay, call it super.
A Moon at perigee can appear up to 14% bigger. January 31’s total lunar eclipse will occur 1.2 days after perigee so the Moon’s diameter will appear about 7% bigger than average. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.
The “Supermoon” term has not been used merely for the closest Moon of the year, but also for the second closest, and third closest, and so on. This one coming up on January 31 is, for example, the third of a trilogy and the second closest of 2018. It’s 358,816 km away, as compared with the January 1 Full Moon which was 356,565 km away.
People post telephoto pictures on social media, depicting enormous-looking Moons in the sky. So astronomers like myself are concerned that the public will look up, see nothing unusual, and just shrug.
See more about Supermoons.
BLUE MOON
“Blue Moon” has become a popular term for the second Full Moon in a month; the name arose because of a Depression-era mistake in an astronomy magazine. The term was never used by astronomers or the ancient Greeks, or Native Americans, or anybody else. Despite the name, the Moon won’t look blue at all. Indeed, the expression “once in a Blue Moon” doesn’t apply since it’s not that rare; the event occurs every 2-½ years.That said, the Total Eclipse of a Blue Moon hasn’t occurred since March 31, 1866. That’s 152 years ago!

BLOOD MOON
Okay, what about Blood Moon? Well, a fully eclipsed Moon turns coppery orange. Actual blood is not copper-colored unless you have a serious hematological problem. But let’s not be picky. Blood is more dramatic than pennies, and there’s no reason not to call a totally eclipsed Moon a blood Moon even if this, too, is a very recently coined phrase.BEST PLACES TO SEE VIEWING TIPS
For All sky watchers in North America, the full Moon on January 31, 2018 will be both “super” and “blue.”This January 31 eclipse, however, is tricky because the Moon will set before it’s totally eclipsed in the entire eastern half of Canada and the US.
West Coasters
Sky watchers in Western states and Canadian provinces, Alaska, and the Hawaiian islands will have the best view of the coppery, totally eclipsed Moon. Look low in the west just before dawn. Its lowness will greatly deepen its ruddy hue. On Pacific Standard Time, the lunar eclipse begin at 3:48 a.m. PST. Totality will start around 4:51 a.m. PST and last until 6:05 a.m. PST. If you set your alarm, you can see the entire lunar eclipse, from start to finish.
Further East
Those further east will see a partial eclipse of the Full Moon—early morning before the Moon sets and morning twilight arrives.
If you live in the Eastern Time Zone, head outside about 6:45 a, EST. Look west-northwest and find an unobstructed view, ideally at a high point since the Moon is near the horizon at this time. At 6:48 a.m. EST, the darker part of Earth’s shadow will begin to blanket the moon and create the blood-red tint—and the Moon will set less than a half-hour later.
If you live in the Central Time Zone, head outside around 6:15 a.m. CST. Johnston said. The Moon will appear to be a blood-red color—and the view will remain until 7:00 a.m. CST, when the Sun rises.
In the Rocky Mountain region, the lunar eclipse will begin around 4:48 a.m. MST, as the darker part of Earth’s inner shadow blankets the Moon. Viewers in this area will see the eclipse peak around 6:30 a.m. MST until 7:00 a.m. MST, when the Moon will set.
See Moonrise times.
FULL MOON NAMES
With all these newly-hatched Full Moon names, let’s have some fun. The year’s lowest Full Moon has no official name. That’s the Full Moon closest to the June 21 summer solstice. Its low height makes it pass through extra air and usually gives it an amber hue. Let’s start calling it the “Honey Moon.”If we keep repeating that term for the June Full Moon, maybe the media will pick it up and run with it. Let’s see if, five years from now, that becomes the established name for that Moon. Let’s all do it, and we can say we know how it started!
Whatever names you use, look at the Moon on January 31. We’re watching all of the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets at that moment reflected from the surface of the Moon.

All I Wanna Do – Sheryl CrowHit it!
This ain’t no disco
And it ain’t no country club either,
This is L.A.All I want to do is have a little fun before I die
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It’s apropos of nothing he says his name is William
But I’m sure he’s Bill or Billy or Mac or buddyAnd he’s plain ugly to me, and I wonder if he’s ever
Had a day of fun in his whole lifeWe are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In the bar that faces the giant car wash
And the good people of the world
Are washing their cars on their lunch breaks
Hosing and scrubbing as best they can
In skirts and suitsAnd they drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record stores, too
Well, they’re nothing like Billy and me‘Cause
[Chorus]
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over
Santa Monica BoulevardI like a good beer buzz, early in the morning
Billy likes to peal the labels from his bottles of bud
He shreds them on the bar then he lights up every match
In an over-sized pack letting each one burn
Down to his thick fingers before blowing and
Cursing them out, he’s watching
The bottles of bud as they spin on the floorAnd a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously, close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want adsBut,
[Chorus]
Otherwise the bar is ours, the day and the night
And the car wash, too, the matches and the
Buds, and the clean and dirty cars,
The sun and the moon ,But, all I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling the party has just begun
All I wanna do is have some fun
I won’t tell you that you’re the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over
Santa Monica Boulevard
Until the sun comes up over

(Theme From) Valley of the Dolls – Dionne WarickGotta get off, gonna get Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my nameWhen did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What’s in back of the sky, why do we cryGotta get off, gonna get Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get Need to get on where I’m bound
When did I get, where did I Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I How will I learn who I am
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why? -
I am doing RED and CHOCOLATE in honor of Valentine’s Day. ♥
I hope you enjoy us with a piece of chocolate. ♥ One or two will not hurt you.

Cherie,
I would have told you exactly what happened I was so upset! My daughter lost a liter of blood.
I was there I did a scene out of Terms Of Endearment. I am a mama bear and I will start
WW111 when it comes to my children. WE had a summer weddings with friends of the family
her best friend all her life. We danced and sang this was in late August she was not feeling
well then but she forged on. I did so much that weekend I got dehydration. Moving on…
Oh she had a collapsed lung too and could not breath she was re-admitted to the hospital
and had to have 02 to breathe. Yeah I have been through it all.Thank you for your concerns Cherie but you called it in a post back in October before I even
knew all the details. If anyone want to see me lose it let something happen to my kids.All mothers feel that way. My kid almost died. Ok I am done talking about it too much Caffeine.
Today is a beautiful day and the sun is out. ♥ Cherie we are going to lose our minds over this
Chocolate.♥ Let’s all get a small box and eat 2 pieces and have that moment that is all ours. ♥ -
