A lunar eclipse, caused by the moon passng through the shadow of the earth, is a much rarer occurrence. The combination of the two is very rare. The last one occurred in 1982. The next one won't occur until 2033. To provide a special viewing opportunity of this phenomenom, the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority held a moon-viewing event at the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve. — at Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve.
