SUPER FLOWER BLOOD MOON

IT IS CALLED A BLOOD MOON BECAUSE WHEN IT PASSES INTO THE EARTH’S

UMBRA IT TURNS A RUSTY ORANGE OR RED COLOR. THE MOON WILL PASS
ALMOST DIRECTLY THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE EARTH’S SHADOW OR UMBRA.
THE ALGONQUIAN TRIBES CALLED THIS MOON THE FULL FLOWER MOON FOR ALL
OF THE FLOWERS IN THE BLOOM.

 ALL ABOUT LUNAR ECLIPSE

A LUNAR ECLIPSE OCCURS WHEN THE MOON MOVES INTO

THE EARTH’S SHADOW. THIS CAN OCCUR ONLY WHEN
THE SUN, EARTH, AND MOON ARE EXACLY OR VERY
CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH EARTH BETWEEN THE OTHER
TWO, AND ONLY ON THE NIGHT OF A FULL MOOON.

DID YOU KNOW?

 EVERYONE ON THE NIGHT SIDE OF THE EARTH CAN SEE THE ECLIPSE
 ON AVERAGE, A TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE CAN BE SEEN FROM ANY
GIVEN LOCATION EVERY 2.5 YEARS
 UNLIKE SOLAR ECLIPSES, OBSERVING A TOTAL LUAR ECLIPSE DOES
NOT REQUIRE ANY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT. LUNAR ECLIPSES ARE SAFE
TO SEE WITH THE NAKED AND UNAIDED EYE.
