Blood Moon, How is Happen

An eclipse happens when a planet or a moon gets in the way of the sun’s light. As we live on Earth, we can experience two kinds of eclipses: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses and the most beautiful and interesting natural phenomenon is lunar eclipses, therefore we will look in deep. 

During a lunar eclipse, Earth gets in the way of the sun’s light hitting the moon. The Moon does not have its own light. It shines because its surface reflects the Sun's rays. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and blocks the Sun's rays from directly reaching the Moon. Lunar eclipses only happen at Full Moon and there are three type of lunar eclipse.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

The Moon passes through Earth's penumbral shadow.

These events are of only academic interest because they are subtle and hard to observe. 

Partial Lunar Eclipse

A portion of the Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow.

These events are easy to see, even with the unaided eye. 

Total Lunar Eclipse

The entire Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow.

These events are quite striking due to the Moon's vibrant red color during the total phase (totality).

The most beautiful phenomenon as the moon color will become red we called it “The blood-red moon”. The moon may turn red or coppery colored during the total portion of an eclipse. The red moon is possible because while the moon is in total shadow, some light from the sun passes through Earth's atmosphere and is bent toward the moon. While other colors in the spectrum are blocked and scattered by Earth's atmosphere, red light tends to make it through easier. The effect is to cast all the planet's sunrises and sunsets on the moon. You should experience this event as it is rarely happen in your living area due to some part of the earth only can see it randomly.
