Starting early Wednesday, stargazers are going to see three moons in one. But clouds may block the view for those of us in the Pacific Northwest.
Wednesday's moon will be a Super Moon, which is when the moon is closest to Earth; a Blue Moon, which is the second full moon in a calendar month; and a Blood Moon, which is a total eclipse of the moon by the Earth's shadow.
According to the National Weather Service, there's a good chance of rain overnight in much of the Puget Sound region. That means clouds could cover the rare sight.
Luckily, NASA is live-streaming the event. The agency says totality will begin at 4:51 a.m. local time, with best viewing between 5-6 a.m.
Each separate lunar event is not all that rare on its own. But the coincidence of all three hasn't been seen in the Americas in more than 150 years.
