People from all over the world are in for a treat this week with the arrival of what has been dubbed a Super Flower Blood Moon. So, what is this supercelestial event, and where it can be watched? The biggest draw of this celestial event is that a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse are occurring simultaneously.
The lengthy name is the result of a few astronomical phenomena coming together at once. The supermoon will be visible all over the world on May 26, and the full lunar eclipse will be visible in many parts of the world, including India.

The Next Full Moon is the Flower, Corn Planting, or Milk Moon, Vesak or Buddha Purnima, a Lunar Eclipse, and a Supermoon.
The next full Moon will be on Wednesday morning, May 26, 2021, appearing opposite the Sun in Earth-based longitude at 7:14 a.m. EDT. The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Monday night through Thursday morning.
While this time will be on Wednesday for most of the Earth, for Baker Island and the Pacific Ocean in the timezone just west of the International Date Line this will be before midnight on Tuesday morning. On the other side of the International Date Line, for the Pacific Ocean and islands that fall under Phoenix Island Time, West Samoa Time, and Line Islands Time, this will be after midnight on Thursday morning.

A celestial spectacle is coming to Canadian skies this month.
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, a ginormous Super Flower Moon and total lunar eclipse will coincide in the early hours of May 26.
May’s Flower Moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year, reaching peak illumination at 7:14 am EDT on May 26.
Make sure to venture outside the night before, though, as the moon will be below the horizon by then.
The eclipse will begin a few hours earlier, at 4:46 am EDT. The moon should be fully engulfed in earth’s shadow by 5:45 am EDT.
