Explanation: On May 26, the Full Flower Moon was caught in this single exposure as it emerged from Earth's shadow and morning twilight began to wash over the western sky. Posing close to the horizon near the end of totality, an eclipsed lunar disk is framed against bare oak trees at Pinnacles National Park in central California. The Earth's shadow isn't completely dark though. Faintly suffused with sunlight scattered by the atmosphere, the inner shadow gives the totally eclipsed moon a reddened appearance and the very dramatic popular moniker of a Blood Moon. Still, the monstrous visage of a gnarled tree in silhouette made this view of a total lunar eclipse even scarier.

Blood Monster Moon sounds like a pro wrestler or a New Wave band that depends on auto-tune.
I know the Moon is a harsh Mistress, but these pet moon names are multiplying faster than genders at a Woke Rainbow convention.
camera needs a redeye delete function :)
A little photoshop will take that out and while we’re at it, make it about 10x bigger.
Another made up modern pagan name.
OK where are all the prophets and sooth-sayers telling us whatever new piss be up on us?
Blood Monster Moon sounds like what Lon Chaney used to do to people every time there was a “full moon”.
I'm convinced it's a leftist cult.
I love syzygy!
(A fantastic 6- letter word to use when playing hangman...)
there used to be a website by that name, the guy predicted earthquakes by using some kind of moon tidal theory
