It is expected that the Earth will witness in early 2019 rare events when the emergence of what is called the giant lunar moon with the total lunar eclipse, in a visible phenomenon of North America and some European countries.

The giant moon, the first red light in 2019, will interfere with eclipses, when the earth will be directly between the sun and the moon, which means that the moon will be in the ground, reported Sky News.

The giant bloody moon is not very rare and call this description because the sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere towards the moon and the atmosphere of the Earth the makes red while the sun disk is painted red at sunset.
When the moon enters the conical shadow of the earth, it passes from the sun to darkness, but some of the light will reach the moon as it is interrupted by the Earth's atmosphere.

And the phenomenon of "giant moon" coincides with the appearance of the full moon at the point closest to its orbit around the Earth, making it appear larger than the normal size.

This characteristic phenomenon will occur in North America and some European countries on the night of January 20, while the Middle East and the rest of Africa will be able to capture the partial 62-minute lunar eclipse.
