On Wednesday,???? ????????? ?? ???????? people in the Western part of the United States will get the chance to see the moon in a special light.
The lunar surface will be cast in a ghostly red pallor as the Earth's dark shadow moves across it.
This total lunar eclipse will occur as the moon reaches its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it a "super blood moon." But that's not all.

People in the Western parts of North America will have a great chance to see this "super blue blood moon" live and in person, but you can still check out the special moon even if you aren't lucky enough to live on the left coast.
NASA will air a live feed of the total lunar eclipse starting at 5:30 a.m. ET on Jan. 31, showing off the lunar body as it dips into Earth's shadow.
You can watch the live webcast in the window below.
"Weather permitting, the NASA TV broadcast will feature views from the varying vantage points of telescopes at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California; Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles; and the University of Arizona’s Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter Observatory," NASA said in a statement.
Slooh will also host a live feed of the super blue blood moon starting at 5:45 a.m. ET on Wednesday. You can watch it live via Slooh.
There's still a chance that people on the East Coast will be able to see at least a little bit of the eclipse on Wednesday morning.
The moon will dip into Earth's shadow starting at 5:51 a.m. ET, but it won't exactly be noticeable until about 6:48 a.m. ET, when the moon enters the deeper part of the Earth's shadow.
“So your best opportunity if you live in the East is to head outside about 6:45 a.m. and get to a high place to watch the start of the eclipse — make sure you have a clear line of sight to the horizon in the west-northwest, opposite from where the Sun will rise,” NASA's Gordon Johnston said in a statement.
The Wednesday total lunar eclipse will be the first total lunar eclipse since September 2015. There won't be another one above North America until 2019.
