The beginning of 2019 will witness a rare astronomical event that coincides with the total lunar eclipse with the phenomenon of the giant moon.

The giant moon is intertwined: it is the first time in 2019, with eclipses, when the earth is directly between the sun and the moon, which means that the moon will be under the earth. According to the Daily Mail, the phenomenon can be observed in North America and some European countries. It 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.

According to Sputnik, astronomer Rick Elvich of NASA said that it was unusual that a total eclipse of the moon and a giant moon occur and that there are usually years between two lunar eclipses with a giant moon.
