A lunar trifecta happens Wednesday morning for the first time in 150 years, but we almost certainly won’t see it thanks to the rainy weather we’re having.

KING-5 reports there will be a pre-dawn “super blue blood moon,” meaning it is closer to the Earth in its orbit so it looks bigger, it is the second full moon in the same calendar month and it’s a lunar eclipse which gives it a reddish tint.

The last Blue Blood Moon was recorded back in March 31, 1866.

Peak viewing time in our area is between 5 a.m. and dawn, but only if the clouds decide to give us a break.
