Details:
In 2018, very unusual astronomical situation occured: both perigee and apogee full Moons were totally eclipsed. The perigee one, on 31 January 2018, was one of two so called „supermoons“ of 2018 and also second full Moon of the same month (in UTC time), making this one Super Blue Blood Moon. The apogee one, on 27 July 2018, was even more interesting as the eclipse itself took a central stage as the century’s longest one (with 1 hour and 43 minutes long duration of totality). Next time both perigee and apogeetotal lunar eclipses occur in 2033 and 2036. More can be found here: http://www.astronom.cz/horalek/?p=4098
