Super blood moon: Rare lunar event to unfold on Wednesday night
Australian stargazers will get the first look at a true super blood moon for 20 years when two celestial phenomena occur at the same time this week.The rare sight will be visible from about 7.44pm on Wednesday on the east coast as the moon passes into Earth’s shadow.
The event will feature both a super moon – when a full moon reaches the closest point to Earth in its orbit – and a blood moon, which is caused by a total lunar eclipse.
