<b>NASA Television to Air Live Coverage of Upcoming Rare Lunar Eclipse </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Sky-gazers are in for a rare treat Wednesday, Jan. 31, when three celestial events combine to create a
<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/feature/super-blue-blood-moon-coming-jan-31">super</a> blue blood moon. NASA Television and the agency’s
<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/live">website</a> will provide live coverage of the celestial spectacle beginning at 5:30 a.m. EST.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Weather permitting, the broadcast will feature views from the varying vantage points of telescopes at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards,
California; Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles; and the University of Arizona’s Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter Observatory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">This event offers a rare opportunity to see a
<a href="https://moon.nasa.gov/observe-the-moon/supermoon/">supermoon</a>, a blue moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time. A supermoon occurs when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit and appears about 14 percent brighter than usual. As the second full
moon of the month, this moon is also commonly known as a blue moon, though it will not be blue in appearance. The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow and take on a reddish tint, known as a

<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/k-4/stories/total-lunar-eclipse">
total lunar eclipse</a> occurs when the Sun, Earth, and a full moon form a near-perfect lineup in space. The total phase of the eclipse will last 1 hour and 16 minutes. The whole process will take more than four hours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">If skies are clear, the U.S. West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii will have the best view of totality, from start to finish. For the eastern U.S. and Canada,
a clear view will be limited as the Moon sets and the Sun rises during the early stages of the eclipse.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The last total lunar eclipse occurred Sept. 27-28, 2015. The next total lunar eclipse visible across North America will occur Jan. 21, 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The Jan. 31 eclipse is the third in a series of supermoons in December 2017 and January 2018. Watch the
