Blood Moon In Molfetta
The Name Blood Moon Derives Directly From The Color That The Satellite Takes On During The Phenomenon: Seen From Earth, The Lunar Surface Is Tinged With A Characteristic Red-orange Hue, Hence The Evocative Name.
The Event Is Linked To A Total Lunar Eclipse: The Moon Enters Completely Into The Shadow Cone Projected By The Earth And, As A Result Of This Alignment, Takes On The Color That Has Earned It Its Name.
