Super Blood Moon

An "extra special" lunar activity will mark the end of 2018's first month as a "super blue blood moon" - a scarlet-tinted super moon - will shine over horizons and skylines around the world.

A "supermoon" is a full moon that appears 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than the usual full moon. It appears when the moon orbits closest to Earth during its full phase.

A blue moon is the second full moon in a month, while a blood moon is seen when a full moon temporarily turns red during a total lunar eclipse due to the "refraction of sunlight."
