You are probably talking about what happens during what we commonly call a lunar eclipse, where the earth is directly between the sun and moon. At this time sunlight is bent a little by the earth's gravity. If you could observe earth from the moon you would see a rim of red light around the earth caused by this bending of light. You can sometimes see this effect when in flight. From earth we see this red light bouncing off the highly reflective lunar surface, giving the moon an eerie and beautiful reddish glow.
