Early Wednesday there is supposed to be a "super blue blood moon" visible shortly before dawn on the West Coast. This is a convergance of a blue moon, a super moon and a lunar eclipse. It hasn't happened in 152 years.
A blue moon is simply a second full moon in the same calendar month. No big deal. It happens every 30 moths or so. A super moon occurs when the moon is full when it is also at it's closest to earth. Also not a big deal. Happens every 14 or 15 months, The super moon appears to be about 7% larger than a "standard" full moon. The combination of the two, along with the lunar eclipse that will take place, is indeed rare.
If you happen to be up around 0400 Wednesday and the sky isn't overcast, check it out.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, by all means get up and look at the moon. But as a lie-member of the Flat Earth Society, I can tell you the so-called moon landings were a hoax. The moon is made out of cheese. Every once in a while it gets moldy, and that accounts for the blue color.
