If you cast your eyes to the skies this Wednesday night you’re in for a celestial surprise – a rare Super Blood Moon.
Technically a total lunar eclipse, a Super Blood Moon occurs when our heavenly neighbour passes into Earth’s shadow.
Dr Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist from The Australian National University, said this shadow creates an amazing orange-red glow that looks a bit like sunrise or sunset.
“While the Earth casts a shadow into space a little bit of light skims through the atmosphere and into space,” Dr Tucker said.
“As the Moon perfectly centres in the Earth’s shadow, it hits this orange-red light.

A total lunar eclipse coinciding with a supermoon will be visible in Australian skies on Wednesday night for the first time in more than three years.
The last total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon, was in January 2019, but one has not been visible in Australia since 2018.
A supermoon, such as last month’s “pink moon”, a more common phenomenon, takes place when the full moon occurs near the closest point in its orbit to Earth.
Wednesday’s “super blood moon”, a combination of the two events, will be visible from the early evening in Australia. The last time this happened was in early 2018 when a blood moon and a super moon also coincided with a blue moon for the first time since 1866.
