The Lunar eclipse on January-31!!!! , we will witness the first total lunar eclipse of 2018 . This celestial event can be seen for many countries including Australia , Russia , India , China and Thailand .The moon will be 7% closer to earth , and a lot brighter. The most exciting thing is , after 150 years , a blue moon , a blood moon and super moon are set to occur on the same time.....If you are in a place where you can watch it , i suggest you should , because it's a once in a lifetime experience............you may never see it again!

For those in less fortunate locations, NASA will be broadcasting the event live online.

I saw it , i saw the entire thing , and it was truly a mesmerizing , once in a life time experience ...Damm , that was beautiful , especially that red moon though , bought tears in my eyes ........

It was lit and , i can't help but adore the nature we are living in , it was the best eclipse i have ever in my life Hands down , and as you said Alok , that red moon was , i don't have words to describe it , it was out of the worlds experience , seeing on Tv is one thing , but looking at the sky with our eyes was , totally different

Even the sky was soo clear today , and speaking of the RED MOON , as i first saw it , i couldnt believe my eyes , it was like almost the entire planet of Mars replacing the moon......and when i saw the sky as a whole with the red moon , i felt like i am looking at an entirely different sky , not our usual earth sky .......i am feeling very lucky to be living in this era ..........nature at its best !

I am jelous!!! Unfortunately my current timezone was one of the worst ones to be at. The eclipse was before noon, so no chance for me to take a look.
Where did you guys get to see it? Any pictures? You should share them!

I am lucky enough to be in India presently, and here it was genius , the moon rise happened exactly at 6:30 pm right after it became dark , i was at the top floor of our apartment and there was no pollution and city lights in the place where i live , as soon as the moon raised over the horizon, i was dumbstruck , because it was bloody RED , just like Alok said , it was like the entire Mars coming to visit us .,.

Me too , i was in similar situation ,and Veronika , i did take some pictures , but unfortunately they are not very good , i didnt have a camera worthy of taking a picture of Beautiful Red Lunar Eclipse , you can still get images on the internet though ,
