đđ´ The Blood Moon Is Coming â September 7, 2025
On the night of September 7, 2025, skywatchers around the globe will witness a breathtaking spectacle: a Total Lunar Eclipse, when the Moon turns a fiery shade of red â known as the Blood Moon.
đ Why Does the Moon Turn Red?
During a lunar eclipse, Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon. Instead of disappearing into darkness, the Moon glows red because sunlight bends around Earthâs atmosphere. Blue and green wavelengths scatter away, while the red and orange hues pass through, painting the Moon in a dramatic crimson glow.
