<\/p>\n(2-14-26) A total lunar eclipse, often called a \u201cblood moon,\u201d happens when the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting Earth\u2019s shadow completely over the Moon.<\/p>\n
Why Does the Moon Turn Red?<\/p>\n
The red color comes from Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n
When sunlight passes through Earth\u2019s atmosphere:<\/p>\n
Blue light scatters (this is why the sky looks blue). Red and orange light bend and pass through the atmosphere. That reddish light reaches the Moon and reflects back to us.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s basically like every sunrise and sunset on Earth being projected onto the Moon at once.<\/p>\n
