What is a Blood Moon?

Why Does the Moon Change Color?
Normally, the Moon appears white or blueish, but during a total lunar eclipse, the Earth’s shadow completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. However, some sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, gets refracted (bent), and reaches the Moon. As a result, the Moon appears reddish-brown due to the scattering of light, similar to how the sky turns red during sunrise and sunset.
When Does a Total Lunar Eclipse Occur?
A total lunar eclipse happens when:
The Sun, Earth, and Moon align in a straight line.
The Earth’s shadow completely covers the Moon, blocking direct sunlight.
The Moon is fully immersed in the Earth’s umbra (darkest shadow).
This upcoming March 2025 total lunar eclipse will be an exciting event for astronomers and skywatchers worldwide, especially in the Americas, where the Blood Moon will be clearly visible.
