Blood Moon / Lunar Eclipse 🌕🩸

A lunar eclipse is one of the most fascinating events in the night sky. It happens when the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Moon to pass through Earth’s shadow. During this eclipse, around 93% of the Moon’s diameter was covered by the darkest part of Earth’s shadow, leaving only a small portion illuminated. The red color comes from sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere filters out much of the blue light, while the red and orange wavelengths are bent toward the Moon, creating the characteristic “blood moon” effect.
