Significance Of

The Moon
The significance of the Moon's
appearance during a lunar eclipse
lies in its reddish hue, often
referred to as a "Blood Moon." This
phenomenon occurs when the
Earth's atmosphere scatters and
refracts sunlight, allowing the red
part of the spectrum to reach the
Moon. The unique coloration adds a
celestial spectacle to the event,
captivating observers and
providing a visually stunning display
during the eclipse.
