Apparently there will be one, as well as an eclipse, on Jan 20th.
'
Super - The moon will appear slightly larger than normal.
Blood - The moon will have a reddish hue to it
Wolf - The first full moon of the year
Moon - The moon will be a moon.
Yes and no. The super blood wolf moon is a large part of the eclipse, but the moon occurs independently of the eclipse. As far as I know the only part that is technically occurring BECAUSE of the eclipse is the "Blood" part. Even if there were no eclipse it would still be a Super Wolf Moon
the eclipse is a large part of the super blood wolf moon, not the other way around, but it's all semantics really lol
also yea the "blood" part occurs for the same reason that the sky is blue and a sunset is red; atmospheric refraction scatters blue light much more than red, so we see on the moon, with the sun on the other side of the planet, only the light that was refracted the least. i might be wrong on that last part tho
The eclipse is non-existent without the moon o.O

Either way I'm not sure why you're explaining the blood part haha. I know what causes it. It's the only part of the event that is dependant on the eclipse. If the eclipse did not occur the moon would not take on a red hue. It would no longer be a blood moon. As I said: it would, however, still be larger than normal, and the first full moon of the year.

I'm not sure what part we're misunderstanding, but either way it's an interesting event and hopefully people can enjoy it
