The Next Lunar Eclipse Will Be Visible From Oklahoma And You Won’t Want To Miss Out

A major astronomy event is headed our way in a few weeks and you won't want to miss out. A "super blood wolf moon" will be one of the coolest things you'll see this year as a total lunar eclipse will be visible over Oklahoma. Keep scrolling for all the details and save the date.

It will be visible in North and South America (plus a few areas outside of this zone), including Oklahoma late in the evening on January 20. Totality will be between 10:12 p.m. - 11:12 p.m CST.

A "super blood wolf moon" is a combination of a total lunar eclipse, supermoon, blood moon, and wolf moon.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth and a blood moon is the term for the reddish color the moon during a total lunar eclipse.

A wolf moon is another term for January's full moon and a supermoon occurs when the full moon is at the closest point of its orbit to the Earth. Combine all of these events together and you get a "super blood wolf moon."

It will be the first one in three years and the last total lunar eclipse visible from the Sooner State until May 2022.

And no need to worry about wearing glasses for this event. A solar eclipe of the moon does not harm your eyes like a solar eclipse of the sun. Just sit back and enjoy the front row seat from anywhere in Oklahoma.
