14 places with an observation station you can view the Super Blue Moon from

It will be a full moon on January 31, but it's not just the regular full moon we get every month.

According to GMA’s resident meteorologist, Nathaniel “Mang Tani” Cruz, January 31’s full moon is going to be — take a deep breath — a Super Blue Blood Moon.

A super moon is when La Luna is at its closest distance to Planet Earth. When a month gets two full moons, which is an unusual occurrence, the second one is called a Blue Moon. Finally, we get a Blood Moon when it turns red or copper, usually during a total lunar eclipse.

So you can imagine how special January 31’s full moon is.
