If the Earth passes directly between the moon and the sun, a complete lunar eclipse occurs, casting a shadow over the satellite. The moon takes on a richer, more reddish glow as a result of this. Lunar eclipses are often referred to as "blood moon" because of their striking color.

At perigee, it appears slightly larger (a "supermoon"), and at apogee, it seems slightly smaller (a "micromoon"). These are the special lunar events based on the cycle this year:

  • The "Super Worm Moon" occurred on March 28, 2021.
  • The "Super Pink Moon" occurred on April 26, 2021.
  • The "Super Flower Moon" will appear on May 26, 2021.
  • The "Super Strawberry Moon" will occur on June 24, 2021.
