Lunar Trifecta Wednesday Morning, The Super Flower Blood Moon

If you get up early Wednesday morning, you can witness what NASA is calling a "lunar trifecta" -- or, to keep it simple, you can refer to it as the"super flower blood moon."

It's a lunar eclipse, sometimes referred to as a blood moon because the moon looks red when the eclipse reaches totality. It's a full moon, which in May is referred to as a flower moon, because that's when spring flowers are traditionally blooming. And it's also a supermoon, a full moon which is at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit.

Oh, and we mean early.

The eclipse runs its course in about 3 hours, starting at 3:46am. But if you just want to hit the highlights, catch it between 6:11am and 6:26am, when the eclipse reaches its totality.

The rest of us will wait to see the pictures you post on Facebook and Instagram.
