We get "blood moons" on a regular basis all it is, is : the Moon, moving on its age-old orbit, will simply pass through the Earth’s shadow. The whole thing takes 78 minutes, and during that time the Moon will look utterly weird. It won’t go entirely dark because sunlight is scattered as it passes through Earth’s atmosphere—the bluer parts of the Sun’s rainbow of colors bouncing every which way (which is why the sky looks blue) and the redder parts streaming right through (which is why the Sun and sky look red at sunrise and sunset). That’s part of it: the other part is that those red rays get bent as they pass through the atmosphere, just as though they were traveling through a lens—and some of those red rays are inclined at such an angle that they fall on the Moon.
