What Is a Blood Moon?
By Aparna Kher
A total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a Blood Moon, because of the reddish tinge the Full Moon takes on when fully eclipsed. The term is also frequently used to describe four total lunar eclipses that occur in a row.

Blood Moon is not a scientific term, though in recent times it is being widely used to refer to a total lunar eclipse because a fully eclipsed Moon often takes on a reddish color—like in the image below, which was taken during the total lunar eclipse in September 2015.

So, why does the Moon turn red?
A total lunar eclipse happens when the Moon travels through the Earth's umbra and blocks all direct sunlight from illuminating the Moon's surface. However, some sunlight still reaches the lunar surface indirectly, via the Earth's atmosphere, bathing the Moon in a reddish, yellow, or orange glow.
As the Sun's rays pass through the atmosphere, some colors in the light spectrum—those towards the violet spectrum—are filtered out by a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. This is the same mechanism that causes colorful sunrises and sunsets. Red wavelengths are least affected by this effect, so the light reaching the Moon's surface has a reddish hue, causing the fully eclipsed Moon to take on a red color.

Depending on the composition of the atmosphere, different parts of the light spectrum are filtered out, so the Moon may also look yellow, orange, or brown during a total lunar eclipse.

MilitiaMan Having the HCL, Article 140 being talked about...and the citizens entitlements we should all be very happy that the citizens are about to get what they deserve. With having purchasing power ( Protection ) the citizens will have consistent payments and they'll be able to afford many things and food is one of them... imo HCL is all about money from oil and other assets. That will require an international calculation for the new exchange rate. That imo is why it is an important law...imo
Paulette IMO, we await Sadr to make his move to move forward to get the government formed...there is a seated Parliament but a Caretaker government...the Caretaker government is not fully authorized to carry out all functions and thus can only enact emergency measures to keep the country safe and running. They are NOT authorized to send the budget...
