Think of the moon like a chameleon rocking a new scarlet shade. When Earth gets in between the sun and the moon, it puts on quite the show -- bending sunlight through its atmosphere, showcasing a reddish hue on the moon's face. Calling it the "blood moon" makes it sound spookier, don't you think?

Why are lunar eclipsed only occur when the moon and the sun are opposite sides of earth?

The sunlight is made of different spectrum of light. You might wonder if the sun isn't shining on the moon with the Earth blocking the sun why the moon is red. Because the red on the moon is bent light. Using a clear prism and a flashlight you can demonstrate how to make a rainbow by turning the prism at the appropriate angle against the beam. The Earth is bending the sunlight with its gravity like that prism. The moon is at such an angle that it only gets hit with the red portion of that light.
