The Super Blood Wolf Moon Is Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

On Jan. 20, the eclipse, what the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at NASA is calling the “Super Blood Wolf Moon”, will be visible in its entirety in New York. The phenomenon gets its name because of it’s “super” close distance to the Earth and it’s visibly “blood”/reddish hue. The title of “wolf” is given to the January full moon. This particular instance is rare since it is uncommon to have a supermoon during an eclipse, according to NASA. While a solar eclipse can only be visible for a short moment, along with proper protective eye wear, a lunar eclipse can be seen for about an hour at night as long as you have a clear sky.
