Residents of Bangkok and nationwide enjoy the rare sight of a super blue blood moon rising in the sky on Wednesday.

 

 It is a long wait, 150 years to be exact, for such a triple lunar event to occur; a lunar eclipse that turns the moon into dark red coinciding with both a super moon (a full moon at its closest distance to the earth) and a rare blue moon.

Gravity, has been proven. and we know the world rotates.

and yes we can see the features at the great distance. You could buy binos or a good telescope snd see it all better as well.

The Blue Moon bit is only a name given to a second full moon in any one month, it is NOT an astrnomical phenomenon. We shall not get a full moon in February as the next two are March 2nd and 31st. The only Blue Moon phenomenon is Manchester City !!!!

An off topic conspiracy theory post and the (sensible) responses have been removed.
