Tonight a lunar phenomenon named the Half-Blood Thunder Moon will appear in the sky. The special event taking place this evening is combined by two factors – a partial lunar eclipse, also known as a Half-Blood Moon and July’s Thunder Moon. The last lunar eclipse of 2019 will be visible over most of Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, and South America.
