Red Moon

I'm not sure about the meaning but I remember red moons sometimes happening when Iw as little too, it's quite eerie seeing it isn't it?

I didn't get to see the lunar eclipse. It's too cloudy. I wish I hadn't missed it. The reddish hues are caused by sunlight scattered and refracted by the atmosphere into the Earth's otherwise dark central shadow region. In otherwords, it's caused by the angle that you are viewing it from. Had it been straight up in the sky, you would see the normal black disk, but because you are seeing it, closer to the horizon, you will get red tones because the earth's atmospere distorts the light rays.

this evening there was a total eclipse of the moon. this is where the earth is directly between the sunb and the moon, the result is that there is no strong reflection of the suns rays off the moon and something to do with the weaker strength of the light refracting off the earths atmosphere makes the moon look a pink/red colour. Something along these lines anyway The eclipse was cool though, i was watching it through my binoculars

About 6-7 years ago I saw a Red Moon here in Australia it was said to be caused from a different type of eclipse where the sun and moon line up opposite each other in a straight line with earth in the middle. so as the sun is actually shining straight onto the moon. Here I found this site that might help http://www.mreclipse.com/Special/LEprimer.html

from what i have heard when it has been mentioned today on the news is that people used to t hink the blood moon brought with it a warning of doom.

we saw a lunar eclipse too..i think it's one of best natural show that i have seen in my life..I was going on the big balcony of my aunt and I have seen the red moon..only from 22 years we can see again the red moon:(
