What is a Blood Moon?
A Blood Moon is a member of a lunar tetrad set; composed of four total lunar eclipses in a row. Said eclipses are each separated by six lunar months, which is why there are so few of them. This phenomenon occurs when the Moon is in a total eclipse and then proceeds to light up the sky with a reddish color.

I really enjoyed reading more intriguing this, in simple basic terms. And without the dismissal of science. Explaining what the occidental within it self. Now jeepers where to start with these other comments, fires, droughts, dust storms, iron clad areas circulating orange tinted molecules. Then mixing with oxygen and our very trampled on atmosphere... whoa the sky turns colors. Shocked face. This is in terms of astrological factors only in article, SMH. Why would I try to educate.
