A Super Blood Wolf Moon will give eager stargazers alluring views on Monday, January 21. The astrological event will showcase a trifecta of lunar activities, with a Super Moon, Blood Moon and Wolf Moon combined. The event will be the last total lunar eclipse until May 26, 2021 and happens about every one to three years on average.
The spectacular astronomical phenomenon will see the Sun, Earth and Moon in a straight line for a short amount of time so the entire Moon is shielded from the Sun’s rays.

This will send a reddish glow through Earth’s atmosphere and result in a total eclipse.

US space agency NASA expects the eclipse to reach zenith about 5.13am UK time (UTC) over the Western Hemisphere.

But despite the astronomical event being a regular occurrence throughout history, many cultures and religions have tried to attribute blood moons as signs of an impending catastrophe.

What is the meaning of the Full Moon?
Some Christian theorists have long associated Blood Moons with a bad omen and end of time prophecies found in the Bible’s Book of Joel and the Book of Revelations.

Joel 2:30-31 read: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.”

The Blood Moon is also featured in the Book of Revelations in passage 6:12, which states: “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.”

For many, this may sound conspiratorial but the fact is there is some logic to this notion.

According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), earthquakes can be up to three times more likely during high tides, which appears when a Full Moon is present.

The agency said: "You must stop and realise that the background probability is, in general, very low in a given place and year (fractions of a percent), so that raising this tiny probability by a factor of 3 during high tides still results in a very tiny probability."

However, the USGS cautions the increased likelihood still means they're very unlikely.
