The full moon will briefly turn reddish-orange before sunrise on Wednesday during a total eclipse that will be visible throughout San Diego County.

The so-called “super blood blue moon” will be in full eclipse from 4:51 a.m. to 6:07 a.m. while the moon sets in the western sky, during what is expected to be perfect viewing weather.

The word blood refers to the reddish-orange hue the moon will take on while it is in Earth’s shadow. And blue refers to that fact this will be a blue moon, the term used to describe the second full moon of a month.

We'll only have like a half-hour to see it in Austin. Sucks that it's so inconvenient.

It was pretty rad.

Didn't even know this was happening, and I was working over night

If this article is accurate, won't have to wait 150 years til the next one.
January 21, 2019.

If one can't wait that long, July 27th 2018. But that eclipse won't be visible from North America. However, much of the rest of the world — South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia — will have a great view of that eclipse.
