Red moon is the moon we know. Our moon. It just happens to appear red sometimes when light particles are scattered in a way its wavelength becomes identical -or close - to the red-light wavelength ... so it appears red. This has a name but I can't remember ... I will check!IP: Logged |

I Checked the news, it's a lunar eclipse, but the phenomena is called "Rayleigh scattering". IP: Logged |
