Islamabad, Jan. 31 (TNS): The moon put on a rare cosmic show Wednesday, a red blue moon, super big and super bright.
The celestial treat became visible in Pakistan, Indian and other countries in South Asia a little later than expected but when it did, millions of stargazers across the continent gathered to witness the rare occurrence.
The moon outdid itself in donning three roles. Moon-gazers saw a super moon, when it looks bigger and brighter than ever because it is closer to the earth, a blue moon, which is the second full moon in a calendar month, and a blood moon, a reference to the red colour of an eclipse. The sighting of a blue moon and a total lunar eclipse last occurred in sub-continent in 1982.
