The Super Blood Moon lunar eclipse peaked in the nightside of Earth around 5.13am on Monday, January 21. The spectacular eclipse brought together three are events into one – a Blood Moon, a total lunar eclipse and a Supermoon near perigee. As a result of this combination, the Full Moon appeared larger, brighter and turned a deep orange-to-red colour during totality. Lunar events like this are an incredible rarity and only three Super Blood Moons are expected to peak this century in January.

The next January Super Blood Moon, also known as a Super Blood Wolf Moon, will appear in 18 years. Millions had a chance to watch the eclipse redden the sky over the Western Hemisphere, where it was visible for just over an hour. Stargazers are now looking forward to the next Supermoon event, which will arrive in just 30 days, and will be the biggest one of the year. And with only three Supermoons scheduled to make an appearance this year, astronomers suggest you keep your eyes peeled. READ MORE: Full list of lunar and solar eclipses to look out for in 2019

During this window of opportunity, the Moon will look brighter and larger than usual.

Before we called them Supermoons, we in astronomy called these Moons perigean Bruce McClure, EarthSky.org

On the West Coast in California, the Full Moon will rise even later at 6.02pm PST and set at 7.29am PST the next morning.

What is a Supermoon? The term supermoon describes any Full Moon which falls near the lunar orb’s perigee, or closest orbital point to Earth. A Moon is dubbed "Super" whenever it comes within 224,775 miles (361,740 km) of our home planet When compared to the Full Moon at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth, the Moon can appear considerably larger and brighter. The Moon always reaches its perigee during its 29-day-long lunar cycle but this does not always fall on a Full Moon.
