The phases of the lunar eclipse are visible in this time-lapse image of the Moon above the Space Environments Complex at NASA\u2019s Neil Armstrong Test Facility<\/a> in Sandusky, OH on March 14, 2025.<\/p>\n

Toward the middle of the Moon\u2019s track through the sky, it appears red \u2013 this is the Blood Moon. One meaning of a “Blood Moon” is based on its red glow. This blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse. During a total lunar eclipse, Earth lines up between the Moon and the Sun, hiding the Moon from sunlight. When this happens, the only light that reaches the Moon’s surface is from the edges of the Earth’s atmosphere. The air molecules from Earth’s atmosphere scatter out most of the blue light. The remaining light reflects onto the Moon’s surface with a red glow, making the Moon appear red in the night sky.<\/p>\n
