Blood red moon and full lunar eclipse are two different events, but when they are together, a wonderful view is formed in the sky.

   • When the Earth, Sun and Moon come in a straight line, the shadow of the Earth completely covers the moon.
   • During this time the direct light of the moon is interrupted and it goes completely into the dark.

2. Blood Red Moon:

   • During a complete lunar eclipse, when the sunlight passes through the Earth’s atmosphere, the blue and green light disintegrate and only the red light reaches the moon.
   • This is why the moon sees us dark red, which is called “blood moon”.
