Did anyone see the color of the moon during the Lunar Eclipse?
Yes, it was a beautiful red color as usual during an eclipse. The reddish hue during totality is caused by the fact that our atmosphere scatters blue light much more effectively than red light (that’s also the reason the sky looks blue during the day). The red light isn’t scattered by the atmosphere, and some of it’s refracted towards the moon and is then reflected back to earth. So the moon looks red during an eclipse for the same reason the sky looks blue.
