YANGON, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- Fall of rare triple cosmic whammy was visible at moon rise in Myanmar's Yangon Wednesday night.

The phenomena was the first time in many years since March 31, 1866 as a blue moon synced up with a super moon and a total lunar eclipse.

A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, while a super moon is when the moon is unusually close to earth, making it bigger and brighter and a blood moon is the moment during an eclipse when the moon appears red.
