As we know, the lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth, the night light and the sun are arranged in a line, and so that our cosmic house hides in the shadow of his companion.The blood-red moon becomes visible due to light rays that reach it shortly before the final entry into the Earth's shadow.On the way they meet atmosphere Blue Planet, by virtue of its best features transmissive longer wavelengths.Rays reach the moon's surface and alter its color.The same mechanism - the reason for such spectacular sunrises and sunsets of the earth.
