It's the first time in 35 years a blue moon has synced up with a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse. NASA refers to the super blue blood moon as a trio of lunar events all occurring at once: the second full moon in one calendar month (a blue moon), at its closest orbital approach to Earth (a supermoon) during a lunar eclipse (a blood moon). That combination won't happen again until 2037.
