The lunar eclipse that took place today on the other side of the world made sure that the moon was a red glow. The so-called blood moon was seen for five minutes in the United States of America, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii and in certain parts of Asia. A lunar eclipse comes about when a full moon, the earth and the sun are aligned. Because the moon is in the shadow of the sun, there is no sunlight but in a blood moon is there light inside the red spectrum of the sun. This causes the red glow. One blood moon in itself is rare but there are then three in the next eighteen months.
