BRAZIL LUNAR ECLIPSE

View of the lunar eclipse next to Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, early 21 January 2019. The entire eclipse was visible from North and South America, as well as parts of western Europe and north Africa. The phenomenon was referred to by some as a 'super blood wolf moon' being a combination of a 'blood moon' as, during the eclipse, only the sun rays refracted by the earth atmosphere are reflected from the moon surface and give it a reddish color, a 'supermoon' given the large apparent size of the moon due to its relative proximity to earth and finally a 'wolf moon', the name often given to the full moon in January.
