What is the Blood Moon?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow; at that point, it takes a reddish tint, which is why the eclipse is called a Blood Moon. The term ‘blood’ is used for the red shade on the fully eclipsed moon.
Mars will also appear large and bright in the sky as it moves towards its closest approach to Earth in 15 years. The phenomenon will follow the ‘Super Blue Blood Moon’ occurred on January 31 which was termed as a once in a lifetime event combining a supermoon, blue moon and blood moon.
