Me and my family is currently watching the rare sky phenomenom which is Super Blue Blood Moon. We are also watching the TV series La Luna Sangre. Tonight the moon is really read as the lunar eclipse happening. We started watching the moon at 830pm as it gradually turns into reddish, starting from crescent until the earth fully covered the moon and had the effect of the red color. The in this month of January the full moon happened twice thus becoming the blue moon. Such a great way to start 2018. The news said the event was last seen in 1982 and really very glad I have seen this now. We, in the Philippines, also feels glad to be the first country to see this event. The sky is also very clear. No thick clouds and the moment is really magical. I'm sorry I've got no good night- capable camera to share good photo.

The belief is that the elemental creatures are active during this time. What food usually prohibited to eat in your country?

It almost tried my patience and finally I got to see it though my camera did not do justice. It looked better than what my camera presented. Yours looks like the sun with those rays around it.

It's still a good photo. I looked up the info on it, as I thought the last time we had this trilogy event was longer ago, and was, 150 years ago since the full moon, blue moon, eclipse occurred.
