What is a BLOOD MOON? 🔴🌕

What is a blood moon? This is when there is a lunar eclipse and a red tinge appears on the Moon which we can then see from Earth. Today the lunar eclipse / blood moon will be visible in some parts of the world, don't miss it! These occur when Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, so the light from the Sun refracts through Earth's atmosphere and causes a red tinge on the Moon which we can then see! A total lunar eclipse doesn't occur that often so if possible make sure you check it out!
