"shadow cone"

3 March 2026

A Blood Moon appears over the towers of Molfetta Cathedral in Molfetta, Italy, on March 3, 2026. The name Blood Moon derives 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.
