Call it whatever you
like—a blue red moon, a purple moon, a blood moon—but the moon will be a
special sight on Jan. 31.
Three separate celestial
events will occur simultaneously that night, resulting in what some are
calling a super blue blood moon eclipse. The astronomical rarity hasn't
happened for more than 150 years.
A super moon, like the one
visible on New Year's Day, is the term for when a full moon is closest to the
Earth in its orbit, appearing bigger and brighter than normal.
On Jan. 31, the moon will
be full for the second time in a month, a rare occasion—it happens once every
two and a half years—known as a blue moon.
To top it off, there will
also be a total lunar eclipse. But unlike last year's solar eclipse, this
sky-watching event isn't going to be as visible in the continental United
States. The best views of the middle-of-the-night eclipse will be in central
and eastern Asia, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia, although Alaska and
Hawaii will get a glimpse, too.
For the rest of the U.S.,
the eclipse will come too close to when the moon sets for the phenomenon to
be visible.
Because of the way the
light filters through the atmosphere during an eclipse, blue light is bounced
away from the moon, while red light is reflected. The eclipsed moon's reddish
color earned it the nickname blood moon.
"We're seeing all of
the Earth's sunrises and sunsets at that moment reflected from the surface of
the Moon," Sarah Noble, a program scientist at NASA headquarters, said
in a release.
Scientifically, Simpson
said, the event is pretty meaningless. The moon's orbit is well studied and
well understood by scientists. The real impact, she said, is how astronomical
events like this get people interested in science.
"Anything that keeps
people interested in science and makes them realize science is important is a
good thing," she said.
