Blood Moon
A Blood Moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse when Earth's shadow covers the Moon completely. As the sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, it filters out shorter blue and green wavelengths, allowing longer red wavelengths to reach the Moon. This causes the Moon to take on a reddish hue, often called a "Blood Moon." The event lasts for a few hours, and the reddish color provides a striking visual effect. It's a natural phenomenon resulting from the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, offering a captivating display without any danger.
