On the night of January 31, we will witness a rarest of rare celestial phenomenon in the sky, claimed to occur after 150 years! And it is going to be a triple treat as the sky will have a supermoon, a blue Moonand a total lunar eclipse, all at the same time. The sky watchers in the State are all geared up to witness the delightful experience, as it is said to be best visible here.
"It is going to be a wonderful phenomenon for Keralites as we will be able to witness it all together, very clearly, especially in the coastal regions. Let's not miss it," says Jayant Ganguli, technical officer, Regional Science Centre and Planetarium, Kozhikode. He explains the phenomenon better.

"On January 31, the Moon is going to be bigger, brighter and more beautiful. As the Moon revolves around the earth in an oval orbit, there will be a time when it comes closer to the Earth and becomes a full Moon. It is also a lunar eclipse as the sun, Earth and Moon are aligned to form a straight line. Also, the Moon will turn reddish so we call it the red Moon or blood Moon. The colour may vary from brown to red depending on the atmospheric humidity and pollution."..(tmes of india)
