The Jan. 31 full moon was the second of the month, making it a blue moon. It was also a supermoon, meaning it was at its closest point to the Earth. Then there was a total lunar eclipse, known as a blood moon.

The next time all three will happen at once again will be in 2037. The previous occurrence was in 1982.
