The moon, which was in full swing on January 21 and at the same time on the ground floor (perigee), was only 357,300 km from Earth, causing “superspln”. The moon appears larger and brighter during perigee than during the normal full moon.
It is also called Superspln of January “wolf moon” (Wolf Moon) and expression “Bloody Moon” (Blood Moon) refers to the reddish color of the moon, explains the web portal newspaper The Guardian. The coloration is due to the refraction of the sun’s rays, which fall on the moon, explained Pavol Rapavý of the Slovak Association of Astronomers.
The total lunar eclipse was observed Monday in Slovakia in the early morning. It is the last total eclipse of this decade. The next one, on July 16, 2019, will be only partial. In a total eclipse, we will see the Moon again until September 7, 2025.
