What is a Blood Moon?

A Blood Moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse when the Earth’s shadow completely covers the Moon. The light that reaches the Moon is filtered through the Earth’s atmosphere, which scatters shorter blue wavelengths and allows the longer red wavelengths to pass through, giving the Moon its characteristic reddish color.

Viewing Tips

• Find a location with minimal light pollution for the best viewing experience.

• Use binoculars or a telescope for a closer look at the lunar surface.

• Check local weather conditions to ensure clear skies.

Mark your calendars for this celestial spectacle, as Blood Moons are rare and provide a unique opportunity for stargazers and photographers alike!
