The duration of the total phase is 77 minutes with the moon tracking through the southern part of the Earth’s shadow
Mark the date, the blood moon or blue supermoon is coming in a rare lunar event that happens only every 150 years. The total lunar eclipse involves a Blue Moon, which is the second full moon of the month.
Clearly the Eclipse will also be visible in Australia, New Zealand, Eastern and Central Asia.
For the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the Blue Moon total eclipse will already be underway as the Moon rises. January 31st will see a total lunar eclipse, which will be best visible on the west coast.
The first full moon in January was known as a "wolf moon" by early Native American tribes, as wolves would howl outside their settlements.
People in Alaska, Hawaii and northwestern Canada will be able to see the eclipse from start to finish.
A timetable has been set for the major stages of the blue moon event in accordance with six different time zones.

The blue moon on 31 January will also be a supermoon, a phenomenon that occurs when a full moon or new moon coincides with the point in the moon's orbit closest to Earth.
The duration of the Blue Moon total lunar eclipse will be 77 minutes as the moon will track through the southern part of the Earth's shadow. The first ever supermoon was around 14 percent larger as well as 30 percent bright than the supermoon that occurred in the previous year in July.
In a Blue Moon, the moon doesn't actually appear blue; instead, the name indicates that it is the second full moon in a particular month.
The last time two blue moons occurred within a year was 19 years ago, said Mok Li Hui, a Science Educator at the Science Centre Singapore (SCS). A scientist, Noah Petro, from the Goddard Space Flight of NASA confirmed that the supermoons provide the people a rare but great chance to see the moon on the closest distance to Earth.
In March, however, there will be two full moons, with the blue moon on March 31.
