Tokyo- A so-called 'Super Blue Blood Moon'’ rises during a total lunar eclipse in Tokyo, Japan, 31 January 2018, during the last time in a series of three consecutive 'Supermoons', dubbed the 'Supermoon Trilogy'’.

The previous 'Supermoons' appeared on 03 December 2017 and on 01 January 2018.

A 'Supermoon' commonly is described as a full moon at its closest distance to the earth with the moon appearing larger and brighter than usual.

The Super Blue Blood Moon combines three lunar events: a supermoon, a blue moon and a total lunar eclipse. Jiji Press
