Explanation:

Blue Moon: When two full moons appear in the same calendar month, the second is termed a “blue moon". First full moon occurred on Jan 1, 2018.
Super Moon: occurs when the full moon is at the closest point of its orbit to the Earth, which is also called the perigee. The moon appears 30% brighter and 14% bigger than the apogee full moon
Blood Moon: The moon turns into red color during the height of the eclipse as some light does reach it even though the moon is in the shadow of the Earth. Fine particles in the atmosphere scatter (Rayleigh scattering) the blue component of solar spectrum, and what reaches us is the longer wavelength red light.
