This subject does not in any way relate to Goodgame Empire, but at around 6:00 in the morning today on January 31st I finally saw the super blue blood moon that was said to appear only once approximately every 150 years with the last time it being seen was in in 1865 which was about 152 years ago. This means it could be the only time I will have gotten to see this moon and also being a blue moon in my entire lifetime. It was a very beautiful moon and especially its glow. (Super means the moon appears larger than normal, bloodmoon is supposed to appear red in color because of an eclipse, and blue moons are normally full moons that appear twice in a month once ever two and a half years.)
At least in my opinion anyway the moon did not appear to be 100% red though. More like a yellowish orange with slightly more red or orange (which also includes red) than yellow. Also, these three I think appear a lot more frequently when separately than only once every 150 years and especially the blue moon even if they are rarely seen, but the combination of all three may be something I will see only once ever. Now I did read somewhere that some parts of the world would not be able to see the super blue blood moon today or at least not the combination of all three and at least for me anyway the moon was blocked throughout most of the early morning hours before sunrise because of it being overcast and cloudy outside, but the combination of all three and being able to see it shortly before sunrise was amazing.

Been seeing a lot of stuff online (reddit, facebook etc.) about how there are clouds blocking the moon :P

Saw it yesterday, it wasn't red, it was like yellow ish. But the "super" part of the event was great, the best part was that although it was cloudy near home, the moon cast a halo of light in the nearby clouds, a red ish halo.

Fellas I didn't watch the super blue blood moon because staring at a reddish glowing ball at night sounded pretty gay to me. do you think I missed out??

It is not gay and you did miss out. I also thought it looked more beautiful than your average white moon as well which I am less fascinated by. Even a super white moon is really not that much different than your average moon besides appearing bigger.JYT (US1) said:Fellas I didn't watch the super blue blood moon because staring at a reddish glowing ball at night sounded pretty gay to me. do you think I missed out??
