The marvel ass names they give storms and the moon phases makes me matt-jokerfied

  • A "super moon" is when the full moon takes place when the Moon is closest to Earth and appears larger (its orbit is not perfectly circular).
  • A "blood moon" refers to a lunar eclipse, faint light scattered by Earth gives the Moon a dark red colour, like blood.
  • In the United States different full moons of the year have different names, many carried over from Native Americans. The one in January is the "Wolf Moon". These names are kinda obscure and only really used for folklore or astrology, certainly among white people lol.

In January 2019 these three things all coincided, so the tabloid rag did what it does best, smushed the terms together and fearmongered about the end of the world.
