Thus, this will be a double spectacle due to the fact that two phenomena will occur at the same time: On one side, will have the "Blood Moon" appearance and on the other, this natural satellite will be the nearest to Earth in a long time.
Our natural satellite will be seen 14% bigger than its normal size, 30% brighter as well as red. This combo is known as a "super lunar eclipse", the last time it occurred was in 1982. Since 1900, there have only been 5 super lunar eclipses and the next one will occur in 2033.
South America will be able to see this phenomenon completely, as well as great parts of Center and North America, if the weather permits. In Mexico's case, this will start at 8:00 p.m. (Mexico City time) and it will surely be worth to try and catch it.
