Why this matters

A total lunar eclipse, often referred to as a 'blood moon' due to the reddish hue of the moon, is a celestial event where the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. These events are relatively rare and are of interest to skywatchers and amateur astronomers.
