Rare Treat: Stargazers Marvel at the Super Blue Blood Moon (PHOTO, VIDEO)

People in different corners of the Earth are experiencing a rare celestial phenomenon which is taking place for the first time in over 150 years.

A rare combination of three lunar phenomena known as a ‘super blue blood moon’ – a blood moon (a phase of the lunar eclipse which makes the moon look red), a supermoon (a full moon or a new moon that happens when the moon reaches its closest point to Earth) and a blue moon (a second full moon in a calendar month) – occurred today on Wednesday, January 31.

​The last time all of these three phenomena coincided was in 1866.
