There’re a number of songs with moon in the title. Moon River, Moonshadow, Moonglow, Blue Moon, Dancing in the Moonlight, you get the idea.

But Wednesday, there’s going to be a lunar event to really sing about. For the first time in 152 years, a super moon, blue moon and total lunar eclipse will coincide.

Joining us to discuss this celestial trifecta is Brendan Mullan, astrophysicist and assistant professor of physics at Point Park University.
