A super blue blood moon is seen setting behind the Hollywood hills in Los Angeles on Wednesday Jan. 31, 2018. The moon is putting on a rare cosmic show. It's the first time in 35 years a blue moon has synced up with a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse. NASA is calling it a lunar trifecta: the first super blue blood moon since 1982. That combination won't happen again until 2037.

Today's total Lunar Eclipse is a combination of three celestial events: Bloodmoon, Bluemoon and Supermoon. It is called Bluemoon when the full moon occurs twice in a calendar month. And as during tonight's lunar eclipse the moon reached near its perigree it looked larger than an average fullmoon and hence termed as a Supermoon.

The next total lunar eclipse that will be visible from India will take place on July 27, 2018 but it will not be a similar celestial phenomenon like tonight.
