🔴 A blood moon is coming.
On March 3, 2026, the Moon will slip fully into Earth’s shadow in a total lunar eclipse, taking on the deep copper tones shaped by Earth’s atmosphere. Even in shadow, sunlight refracted through the air around our planet can paint the Moon in the warm colors of a global sunset.
For the full science behind lunar eclipses and why the Moon reddens, see the article in the original post. ✍️
