NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center photographer Lauren Hughes takes photos of the Super Blue Blood Moon eclipse from California’s Trona Pinnacles Desert National Conservation for the Jan. 31 of the total lunar eclipse that provided a rare opportunity to capture a supermoon, a blue moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time. A supermoon occurs when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit and appearing 14 percent brighter than usual. As the second full moon of the month, this moon is also commonly known as a blue moon, though it will not be blue in appearance. The super blue moon passed through Earth’s shadow and took on a reddish tint, known as a blood moon. This total lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and a full moon form a near-perfect lineup in space. The Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow).

Super Blue Blood Moon

The Moon is seen as it sets behind the National Capitol Columns at The US National Arboretum on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2018 in Washington. Today’s full Moon is unique for three reasons: it is the third in a series of supermoons, occurring when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit. It is also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a blue moon. The moon will also be passing through Earth’s shadow, giving skywatchers in the right locations a view of a total lunar eclipse. Photo Credit: (NASA/Aubrey Gemignani)
