LUNAR ECLIPSE / THE BLOOD MOON

in #lunareclipse • 6 years ago (edited)

A total lunar eclipse took place on 27 July 2018. The Moon passed through the centre of the Earth's shadow in what was the first central lunar eclipse since 15 June 2011. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes within Earth's umbra (shadow). As the eclipse begins, Earth's shadow first darkens the Moon slightly. Then, the Earth's shadow begins to "cover" part of the Moon, turning it a dark red-brown color (typically – the color can vary based on atmospheric conditions). The Moon appears to be reddish because of Rayleigh scattering (the same effect that causes sunsets to appear reddish) and the refraction of that light by Earth's atmosphere into its umbra.
