The beginning of the year 2019 will witness a rare astronomical event, the synchronization of the total lunar eclipse with the phenomenon of the giant moon.

The giant bloody moon, the first in 2019, cuts eclipses, when the earth is directly between the sun and the moon, which means that the moon will be under the earth. A phenomenon that can be seen in North America and in some European countries. According to the Daily Mail.

This is the only total lunar eclipse known also as the bloody moon. The last lunar eclipse took place on July 27 and there will be no further total eclipse until 2021.

The total eclipses of the moon occur when the earth is directly between the sun and the moon, which means that the moon will be in the earth.

"It is unusual that a total eclipse of the moon and a giant moon occur together," said NASA astronomer Rick Elvich. "There are usually years between lunar eclipses of a giant moon.
