The video explains the Super Blood Wolf Moon eclipse, which is a combination of a lunar eclipse, a supermoon, and a wolf moon. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon and giving it a reddish glow. A supermoon happens when the moon is closest to Earth, appearing larger. The wolf moon is the first full moon of the year. The video details how these phenomena coincide, with the lunar eclipse lasting over three and a half hours, and totality occurring for about an hour.
