call me a superstitious old fool but this Blood Moon thing is an Omen—in a few days something bad is going to happen to the USA. Lots of folks may die! Hold your breath—get your supplies ready—food, water, first aid kit, Batteries, radio and flashlights. Three days suppy or more. We will know in a week or so. Time for all those folks in Dallas to start throwing up.
I don’t know if that was sarcasm or not, but EVERY lunar eclipse is actually what’s now called a “blood moon”. The moon at some point is lit only by sunlight filtered through the low horizon—sunrises and sunsets in other words. Sunrises and sunsets are red because of Rayleigh scattering and suspended dust. There is usually one, but sometimes two of these “blood moons” per year.
