Looks like the eve on January 31st will be a one time thing in our lifetimes, I sure hope I do not forget to be outside when it happens:
A total eclipse of a "blue moon" will occur on Jan. 31 — the first time this has happened since 1866.

Typical it won't be visible in the UK! @marguicha it does not look like you will see it in Chile either!

bummer @garymarsh6 well, I would have forgotten anyway, I don't like to be outside when it's cold and our nights do get cold.

I wonder if we will be able to watch it in the southern hemisphere.

Cool! I hope to see it.
That is also my brothers birthday but I have not seen him since I was 17.

I hope you do too. Maybe things will get to a point where the two of you will be able to meet up again.

I'm not sure if it could be seen here, but I did see a couple of Facebook posts about this.

I probably won't be able to see it even if it's not cold, so far this region never has the right view of any of these events ..... maybe in 150 years though, unless I'm napping
