The total lunar eclipse of Super Moon is a phenomenon in which all parts of the moon will be covered by Earth's shadow. It happens when the Earth is between the sun and the moon on the same straight line.
Thus the sun can not reach the moon because it is obstructed by the Earth. In addition, the total lunar eclipse occurs during the full moon phase.However, not every full moon will occur a total lunar eclipse. This is because the orbits of the moon are 5 degrees in circumference of the sun
Exactly on January 31, 2018 there will be a total eclipse phenomenon, which will coincide with the moment of the moon's position reaching the perigee point (close distance to Earth). This phenomenon begins with a partial eclipse, followed by a total eclipse, a partial eclipse, and a moon completely separated from the shadow of the Earth.
This event occurs only on most of the Earth's surface, including North America, the Pacific Ocean, East Siberia, and Asia, including Indonesia.
