The Super-Blue-Blood Moon moment is expected to spoil sky-watchers. This rare event will provide an opportunity for researchers to discover the character of the unknown moon dust. For example, how many hollow and soft dust ii on the lunar surface.
The full moon that occurred on January 31, will be a good time to get this triple effect. The moon will be in a line close enough to Earth to be called a Supermoon.
While the name "Blue" itself has nothing to do with the moon that turns into blue. But, because the full moon is happening in the same month. Some estimate this term is an abbreviation of the word "belewe". The ancient English term meaning "to unveil".
While the term Blood Moon really has something to do with the color of red blood. Because, the moon became slightly reddish when the moon entered the shadow of the earth when the eclipse occurred.
When the eclipse occurs and the shadow of the earth blocking the moon from the sun, it is expected that researchers can observe the rocks on the surface of the moon. The surface of the moon will be cooler.
If observations are successful, NASA researchers can see the rocky moon's surface in different ways when the moon is illuminated by the sun. So the possibility of researchers can get a moon of rocks made of what.
"The entire character of the moon changed as we observed using a heat-detection camera when the eclipse occurred," explains Paul Hayne, a researcher at the Atmsfir and Space Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder.
