My son and his wife are on holiday in Zihuatanejo, Mexico to escape this dreary time of year in Chicago. They are enjoying the small town vibe, great food and the fact that taxis only cost $4.
They got these great photos of the moon while they waited for it to turn red and they wanted me to share them here.
What exactly causes a "Blood Moon"?
A "Blood Moon" happens during a total lunar eclipse, when the sun, Earth and the moon align in that order. Long wavelengths of sunlight are refracted through Earth's atmosphere before reaching the moon, which reflects them in reddish hues that may resemble the color of blood
I have a video I wanted to share here as well, but I can't get it to encode. I'll save it for later!
