    Hmmm. I understand that some people want to call this eclipse the "Blood Moon”. If it’s red, I’ll be thinking of rose petals.

        @GottaLoveDX @neiltyson No, it is not dangerous in any way. It's no different than any other night. The moon is just in earth's shadow.

        @GottaLoveDX @neiltyson Some people call it a blood moon only because it sometimes has a red tint to it during an eclipse.

        @GottaLoveDX @neiltyson That's not true. It sometimes has a red tint as a result of light passing through dust in earth's atmosphere.

        @neiltyson From what I understand, all lunar eclipses lead to a reddish color of the moon. I don't get why the hype now.
