Wednesday was the first time since 1982 that a [supermoon](http://time.com/5125152/what-is-a-supermoon-january-2018/), [blue moon](http://time.com/5095721/blue-moon-total-lunar-eclipse-2018/) and total lunar eclipse all took place in one night and the first time [since 1866](https://www.space.com/39532-super-blue-blood-moon-occurs-wednesday.html) that the latter two coincided in North America. [NASA even live-streamed](http://time.com/5124978/super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse-livestream/) the special sight for those who weren’t able to look up and see it. So as the rare celestial phenomenon occurred on Jan. 31, many watching took to Twitter to share their thoughts, with some, of course, cracking jokes about the lunar event. “I woke up at 5 to look at the blood moon and I saw it and then I went back to bed and dreamed about seeing an even cooler blood moon,” quipped Twitter user Noelle Stevenson. “Take that blood moon.” > [](https://twitter.com/Gingerhazing/status/958723891714654208) See a selection of other reactions below. > [](https://twitter.com/tuesday%5Fmoon/status/958575530248372225) > [](https://twitter.com/markhoppus/status/958711943950290944) > [](https://twitter.com/kmrlshhrin/status/958683204621295618) > [](https://twitter.com/DeliciousNecks/status/958641590020448256) > [](https://twitter.com/ltem%5Fboyy/status/958709798786101255) The [next blue moon lunar eclipse](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-news/next-super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse) during a supermoon will not happen again until 2037. ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5127052/super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse-reactions/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5127052/super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse-reactions/"},"headline":"The Funniest Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse Memes to Journey Across the Internet","datePublished":"2018-01-31T17:50:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-12T08:48:40.098Z","description":"The celestial phenomenon took place for the first time since 1982","url":"https://time.com/5127052/super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse-reactions/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Space","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt082dc5cdeb86ea4d/6988fa178fd2ee593135a827/super-blue-blood-moon.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt082dc5cdeb86ea4d/6988fa178fd2ee593135a827/super-blue-blood-moon.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Super-Blue-Blood-Moon-Reactions","caption":"The 'super blue blood moon' is seen over Los Angeles, California, on January 31, 2018.","creditText":"AFP Contributor—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5127052/super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse-reactions/","name":"The Funniest Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse Memes to Journey Across the Internet"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Here's What the Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse Looked Like From Around the World","description":"Millions of people who got up early or stayed up late Wednesday morning were treated to a rare natural spectacle","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ErZ7oUSz/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-01-31T15:42:30.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ErZ7oUSz.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5127052/super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse-reactions/","duration":"PT1M2S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5127052/super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse-reactions/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
