MANILA, Philippines - The 'super blue blood moon' on Wednesday, January 31, captivated the world with netizens and media sites shared their best and stunning photos of the rare phenomenon.
The spectacle, which hasn't occurred since 1982, was the convergence of three celestial events: a supermoon, blue moon and total lunar eclipse. As observed, the moon turned orangish-red thus the 'blood' description. The next 'super blue blood moon' will happen in 2037.
Penumbral eclipse began 6:49 PST, partial eclipse at 7:48 and the most awaited greatest eclipse at 9:29 p.m.
