naomi 343 Posted April 16, 2014 It's full as hell but I don't see no damn red The red slowly intensified after the shadow looked fully cast. What causes the hue according to two different takes: First The Influence of Pollution Then, too, there's the dust in the atmosphere causing the Moon's reddish hue during an eclipse. That dust "is the product of many natural processes as well as man-made ones, a reminder of the pollution present here due to the burning of coal and other materials," Newman said."Overall, last night's celestial event serves as a reminder of the special circumstances associated with the formation of our planet," he concluded, "as well as the nature of our present-day environment." Second (far cooler) Why is it called a blood moon? The color is caused by the light from sunsets and sunrises bending off the surface of the Earth. As sunlight bends around outer edges of the planet, the light beams into the Earth's shadow, transforming the moon into a rust-colored orb. The effect is similar to that of the sun turning the clouds red or pink during a sunrise or sunset. On Guam, the lunar eclipse will begin around 4 p.m. with the sun beginning to set at 6:30 p.m. “So 6:30 p.m. is the magic time,” said Pam Eastlick, former planetarium coordinator at the University of Guam. “By the time it gets above the horizon, the bottom of the moon will be noticeably red because of totality.” NASA describes the phenomenon as if a person standing on the moon was "seeing every sunrise and every sunset in the world, all of them, all at once."

MedStudent 56 Posted April 16, 2014 Chick I was with last night: look out the window at the moon it's red! It's a red moon! Me: don't look red to me. Her: it's red! It's red! Me: it's bright but not red. Her: no it's a red moon! Everyone is posting about it on Facebook! Me: I'm telling ya, I don't give a fock what they're saying on Facebook! It ain't red! Me to myself: I'm getting focken sick of this chick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
