When a total lunar eclipse occurs, the moon appears to turn reddish, a phenomenon known as a "blood moon." The Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon during a lunar eclipse, which causes this to occur. The moon appears reddish as a result of sunlight being scattered by the Earth's atmosphere and the longer red wavelengths of light passing through. The moon may appear "blood-red" during the eclipse for this reason.
The event when the Earth throws a shadow on the Moon and is visible from Earth when the Sun, Earth, and Moon line up is called a lunar eclipse. The Blood Moon effect is created when the full moon passes into the Earth's umbra, or the darker, core portion of its shadow, during a complete lunar eclipse.
Depending on the alignment and the moon's passage through the Earth's shadow, this spectacular and frequently breathtaking occurrence can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. The lunar cycle will determine when the next Blood Moon occurs, however these occurrences usually occur a few times every year.
Anywhere on Earth's night side, one can observe a Blood Moon or total lunar eclipse with the unaided eye. The location and time of the eclipse determine its visibility. There must be no clouds in the sky and little light pollution for the event to be visible in your region.
The eclipse often lasts between thirty minutes and many hours during a Blood Moon. Local time changes will apply, and the precise times may depend on your location.
