Rare Super blue blood moon coming tonight [fiIrkwHM9fg]
오늘 밤 개기월식 우주쇼...슈퍼 블루 블러드문 Now for a moment you might want to set your alarm for. On January 31st -- tonight for us in Korea -- half of the Earth -- parts of western Northern America, Asia, the Middle East, Russia and Australia -- will experience a very special moment: "a super blue moon." It will be the first time in decades that the world will witness a total lunar eclipse. Park Soyun reports. On Wednesday night, sky-watchers will be able to enjoy a special cosmic three-for-one deal, "a super blue blood moon." Half the world will be witness to not just one, but three uncommon events: a lunar eclipse, a supermoon and a blue moon. Individually the three aren't that rare, but the last time all three occurred at the same time -- a celestial trifecta -- was 35 years ago. The "super blue blood moon" combines a 'supermoon' which is a full moon that is closest to earth, a 'blue moon,' the second full moon of the month' and a lunar eclipse, a phenomenon that occurs when the earth casts a shadow over the moon. (Korean) "The supermoon looks especially big due to it being closer to earth. The blue moon and the blood moon.... For all three to occur simultaneously is a once in a life time event, a very rare moment." In South Korea, you can catch the show from 8:48 p.m. when the moon enters the darkest part of the Earth's shadow, the umbra, during the period of the partial eclipse. From 9:51pm to 11:08 the moon will turn a deep shade of dark red, when it undergoes a 'totality,' the period when the moon is totally covered, or the total eclipse. The rest of the visible eclipse will end at 12:11am on February 1st. The whole process will last as long as an hour and twelve minutes, depending on your location. So you may want to catch this "once in a blue moon" moment -- a truly once in a lifetime event. Park Soyun, Arirang News.
