Red Moon
Certain atmospheric and astronomical conditions will cause the Moon to appear red or copperish red. Red Moons are usually visible at the time of total lunar eclipse. The Moon exhibits a coppery (bloody) color due to sunlight refracting or bending through the Earth's atmosphere. In addition, dust particles in the Earth's atmosphere removes much of the bluer colors in the sunlight so only the redder colors make it to the Moon.
