A blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the moon. As the Earth's shadow falls on the moon, it can take on a reddish hue due to the scattering of sunlight through the Earth's atmosphere. This phenomenon is often referred to as a "blood moon" because of the distinctive color it takes on during the eclipse.
