Así se verá la primera superluna azul en 37 años

NASA describes a rare lunar trifecta occurring on Wednesday night, featuring a supermoon, blue moon, and total lunar eclipse. The blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, coinciding with the moon's perigee, making it appear larger and brighter. This event, last seen in 1982, will not occur again until 2037. The best viewing spots are in Hawaii, Alaska, the US West Coast, and Russia, while it will be less visible in the Atlantic US, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. NASA will provide a live stream for those unable to view it directly. Scientists aim to study the lunar temperature drop during the eclipse.
