A very unusual Lunar Eclipse took place last night - where the Moon appeared to glow red while seeming brighter and closer to Earth than normal. The rare event is known as a ‘Super Blood Wolf Moon.’ Apart from Trinidad & Tobago, it was also visible from North and South America, as well as areas of western Europe.
This kind of Eclipse occurs when the Earth passes precisely between the Sun and the Moon. The Sun is behind the Earth and the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. A small amount of sunlight is refracted by the Earth's atmosphere and illuminates the Moon in a reddish color.
The rare celestial event gets the ‘Super’ part of its name from the fact that the Moon is near its closest approach to the Earth - when it is marginally bigger in the sky than usual. The ‘Wolf’ part comes from the name given to Full Moons in January - ‘Wolf Moons.’
