Why Does a Blood Moon Occur?
When the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, its shadow is cast on the lunar surface, causing a total lunar eclipse. The moon is called Blood Moon because sunlight scatters through Earth's atmosphere, giving it a deep red color instead of a dark one.
Many people call this lunar eclipse the Corn Moon Eclipse because it occurs during the September full moon, which is also known as the Corn Moon.
A unique opportunity to see one of nature's most breathtaking astronomical displays, skywatchers throughout India are preparing for this amazing celestial show.
