BANDUNG, KOMPAS – After 152 years, three phenomena of total lunar eclipse will occur concurrently on Wednesday (31/1/2018): super moon, blue moon and blood moon.

The total lunar eclipse on Wednesday (31/1/2018) will occur at the same time as a super moon and can be witnessed in a number of regions across Indonesia. However, people are urged to be on the lookout for any impacts of a super moon, a blue moon and a blood moon taking place concurrently, namely in the form of high tides that can disrupt sailing and trigger tidal floods.
