Blue Blood Supermoon Eclipse 2018

A rare moon sighting that many are now calling the "blue blood supermoon" is happening this January. On the night of Jan. 31, a total lunar eclipse will happen. This is when the Earth comes in between the sun and the moon, which will block the sunlight from travelling towards the other end. At the same time, a blue moon — which is described as the second full moon in a calendar month — will also take place. It will also become a supermoon because it will be a full moon that's closer to Earth, making it appear bigger than it usually is.

Here I have mentioned the timings of the eclipse for the Indian observers. 

The eclipse will be already in progress at the time of moon rise. The eclipse will end at 9:36pm IST. Below are some screenshots taken from the Starry Night Pro software.
