Supermoon Lunar Eclipse on January 31-2018
Rare lunar events will mark the entry of 2018 as two supermoons are set to shine on the first and last evenings of January, with the finale expected to have an “extra special” red glow, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said on its website.
A “supermoon” is a full moon that appears 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than the usual full moon. It appears when the moon orbits closest to Earth during its full phase.
The “wolf moon” or the first full moon of the year will be a supermoon, NASA said. It follows the opener of the supermoon “trilogy”- as NASA put it – which was seen in early December.
