Professor of Astronomy-Astrophysics Research, LAPAN explained because the name is called Supermoon. That is because the distance of the moon is still closest to the earth. So that the full moon and eclipse look bigger than usual.
Then because it was called Blue Moon because it was the second full moon in January, after 1 January.
In addition, total lunar eclipse is also often called Blood Moon because when the total eclipse of the moon looks red blood.
"So the lunar eclipse on January 31, 2018 may be called Super-Blue-Blood-Moon," said Head of LAPAN as quoted Tribunnews.com, Wednesday (31/1/2018) in his article entitled "Total Moon Eclipse Prove the Earth Spherical: Earth Flat "uploaded on his blog, tdjamaluddin.wordpress.com.
He further explained the total lunar eclipse January 31, 2018 will be seen throughout Indonesia. The process of eclipse starts at 18:48 pm.
Total lunar eclipse at 19.52-21: 08 hrs. The eclipse process ends at 22:11 pm.
The process, starting at 18:48 WIB the bottom (east side) of the full moon begins to darken by the shadow of the earth.
Then at 19.52 to 21:08 the moon becomes dark red when the full moon enters the shadow of the earth's core.
"The red color is caused by the refraction of sunlight by the earth's atmosphere," he explained.
After that slowly full light began to appear from the bottom right (East). And the eclipse process ends at 22:11 WIB
