Astronomers and skywatchers have disagreed somewhat on the true definition of a super moon. Just how close the moon should be to Earth to qualify as a super moon depends on who you ask \u2014 but, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly, it refers to the times in which a full moon is at its closest point to Earth, called perigee, making it appear even bigger and brighter than most full moons.<\/p>\n<p>The reference to blood may sound macabre, but it refers to the brick-red hue the moon may take on due to an optical illusion caused by Earth\u2019s atmosphere. Before the sun and moon are in direct opposition, sunlight that normally reflects directly off the lunar surface will instead pass through Earth\u2019s atmosphere, which filters out the blues of the UV spectrum so that only the reds and oranges remain \u2014 hence the reddish gradient effect. It\u2019s the same mechanism that gives sunsets and sunrises their gorgeous colors, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/super-flower-blood-moon-lunar-eclipse-kids-guide\">according to Space.com\u2019s interview with Jackie Faherty<\/a>, a lead astronomer and astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there\u2019s the \u201cfloral\u201d aspect, which is simply a nickname given to the full moon that occurs in May, a month that early skywatchers \u2014 namely the Algonquin peoples of North America, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.almanac.com\/content\/full-moon-may\">according to the Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/a> \u2014 associated with the new blooms of spring. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_super_flower_blood_moon_lunar_eclipse\"><\/span>When is the super flower blood moon lunar eclipse?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The eclipse occurs in the morning or evening of Wednesday, May 26, depending on your global positioning, and is most visible for those in western North America, southern and far-western South America, the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand, Australia and Southeast Asia. By Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a neutral time-zone used by astronomers, the process begins at 08:47 UTC (4:47 a.m. EDT), with the moon approaching Earth\u2019s shadow around 9:45 UTC (5:45 a.m. EDT). The point at which the moon is completely engulfed by Earth\u2019s shadow, called totality, occurs at 11:16 UTC (7:16 a.m. EDT), and will remain in darkness for approximately 14 minutes and 30 seconds. In other lunar eclipses, totality is known to last upwards of 100 minutes, or as few as seconds. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" alt=\"This sequence of images shows a Super Blood Wolf Moon \u2014 another type of total lunar eclipse \u2014 that was seen on Jan. 21, 2019, from The Netherlands.\" class=\"wp-image-18339343 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/eclipse-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/eclipse-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/eclipse-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/eclipse-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/eclipse-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>This sequence of images shows a Super Blood Wolf Moon \u2014 another type of total lunar eclipse \u2014 that was seen on Jan. 21, 2019, from the Netherlands.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NurPhoto via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_the_super_flower_blood_moon_lunar_eclipse_be_visible_anywhere\"><\/span>Will the super flower blood moon lunar eclipse be visible anywhere?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sadly, no, as half of our planet will have already entered daylight, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeanddate.com\/eclipse\/map\/2021-may-26\">a handy map available from TimeAndDay.com<\/a>. It\u2019s regions of the Pacific that get the best view, especially South Asia, Australia and Oceania, Hawaii and Antarctica (if you happen to be aiding research down that way). West and midwestern North America, Central America and the southern tip of South America will witness some degree of totality, while those in the southern and central US, Canada and South America may get to peep a partial eclipse, although the rising sun will soon obscure the moon altogether. However,  the odds of catching any part of the eclipse is marginal for the northeastern US and Canada \u2014 as well as the eastern half of Brazil, South America and other Atlantic coastal nations, plus the East Coast of the US and Canada.
