You won’t want to miss next month’s super blood wolf moon eclipse. Mark your calendars for Jan. 20.

---

Technically, next month’s lunar event could be called a super blood wolf moon eclipse.

Starting Jan. 20, a total lunar eclipse, or blood moon, that coincides with a supermoon, will be visible throughout the United States. The event starts late in the evening Jan. 20 and finishes during the wee hours of Jan. 21.
