Blue moon eclipse
For the first time in 35 years, a blue moon will occur during a total lunar eclipse on Jan. 31, an event some have taken to calling a “super blue blood moon.”

The blue moon eclipse is happening Wednesday January 31, 2018. The times in the U.S. are 7:51 a.m. EST, or 4:52 a.m. PST, and it will last roughly 1 hour and 16 minutes.
The best place to watch the blue moon eclipse is definitely the West Coast since it will be dark when the blue moon eclipse is happening. Unfortunately the time the blue moon eclipse begins on the East Coast, the sun will already be rising and the moon will have begun setting. East coasters will still be able to see it but it will not be as stunning as it could have if it were dark out. Asia and Australia will be getting a fantastic view.
Unlike a total solar eclipse, a total lunar eclipse cannot damage your eyes, making it safe to look at without any special glasses or equipment. Make sure you wake up early enough to see the moon in a prime position.
