The full moon of January 31, 2018 was the second full moon that calendar month (in most time zones), making it, under one definition of the term, a "blue moon".

It was also a blue moon, the second full moon of December for the eastern hemisphere where the previous full moon was on December 1.

A blue moon refers either to the presence of a second full moon in a calendar month, to the third full moon in a season containing four, or to a moon that appears blue due to atmospheric effects. [2] The calendrical meaning of "blue moon" is unconnected to the other meanings.

The Super Blood Moon is an astronomical event that combines two phenomena: a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse, resulting in a larger, brighter, and reddish-colored Moon. A total lunar eclipse takes place when the Earth aligns between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth’s shadow to fall on the Moon.
The time between super blue moons can be as much as 20 years – but in general, 10 years is the average. So when will the next super blue moon actually occur?
