Photo Illustration showing people with bicycles taking photos of the Super moon on January 31, 2018 in Lancelin, Australia. Last seen from Australia in December 1983, a Super Blue Blood Moon is the result of three lunar phenomena happening all at once. Not only is it the second full moon in January, but the moon will also be close to its nearest point to Earth on its orbit, and be totally eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow. Picture: Paul Kane/ Getty
