Students of Class IX were shown the video of the Red Moon.
They were explained that red moon, often called a blood moon, happens during a total lunar eclipse. This occurs when the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon. Instead of going completely dark, the Moon turns red because sunlight bends through Earth`s atmosphere, and the red wavelengths pass through more easily. These red rays reach the Moon and make it look copper or crimson.
For students, the red moon is a great example of how light, shadow, and atmospheric science work together to create beautiful natural events.
