Where to watch the next rare super blood moon

The last blood moon phenomenon took place on July 27.

A very rare astronomical phenomenon is set to delight stargazers and moon enthusiasts in just a few short weeks.
With a combination of super moon and blood moon phenomena, a super blood moon eclipse will grace the skies on January 21, 2019, according to astronomers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory as quoted by Express.co.uk.
Residents of North and South America, the Pacific Ocean and parts of western Europe and Africa will see the moon in its path of totality. 
Total eclipse is expected to last one hour and two minutes, but from start to finish it will take nearly three hours and 17 minutes. 
The next super moon will also take place on December 22. 
Earlier this year, the longest "blood moon" lunar eclipse of the century took place on July 27 and was visible from the UAE for nearly 103 minutes.  
Nearly one year ago, on January 31, a super rare blue blood moon that combined three lunar phenomena - supermoon, blue moon and blood moon - had stunned stargazers.
