Three supermoons appeared on December 3, January 1 and January 31, with experts dubbing the phenomena a ‘supermoon trilogy’.
And astronomers believe the public’s interest will be even higher for Friday’s Blood Moon, which will be visible in the UK from 8:30pm BST.
The eerie spectacle will be the longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century so far, lasting for a remarkable 103 minutes.
The eclipse will occur at the same time Mars is set to be its closest to the Earth in 15 years.
Dr Paige Godfrey, an astronomer at robotic telescope service Slooh, said: “This is the first total lunar eclipse since the supermoon trilogy that concluded in January 2018 with a lunar eclipse.
“That phenomenon generated massive public interest, and that has hyped up the interest for subsequent events like this one.
“It’s exciting for astronomers to watch the public enjoy these kinds of celestial events.”
The Blood Moon was given its name due to the red and orange hue that it shows during the eclipse.
A spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society said Friday’s Blood Moon would be a “spectacular” sight.
He said: “Lunar eclipses are very easy to witness as no special equipment or safety precautions are required.
“Solar eclipses are dangerous because observing the Sun directly can damage your eyesight, but the light from a lunar eclipse is much fainter and so is completely safe.
“On Friday all you have to do is dress warmly and go outside.
“If you can see the full moon you will be able to observe the eclipse as it happens.
“If you want a close up view of the Moon as it turns red, a pair of binoculars is helpful.
“Because lunar eclipses are easy to watch with the unaided eye, you can just go outside and enjoy the view.”
