En California, miles de personas observaron durante la noche la llamada "superluna azul de sangre", que desapareció, privada de rayos de sol, y volvió a emerger teñida de rojo, de ahí su nombre.
También se le llama "azul" no por el color sino porque se trata de la segunda luna llena en un mes, un fenómeno que solo sucede en promedio cada dos años y medio.
