Until about twenty years ago, I never heard of the moon being referred to as a blood moon when it is made a brownish orange tint by forest fire smoke, heavey dust-laden air, an eclips, or theharvest moon.

This relatively new-to-me custom of referring to every tinted moon as a blood moon to me is verging onwitchcrafte.

The moon will indeed turn to blood and teh sun will not give its light, both at the same time, when our Father makes it so, and not before.

I will continue loving the harvest moon, and musing on tinted by nature moons until the moos looks as though it is covered with bright red blood. Until then, it is the enemy boasting because he knows what is coming his way..........

But not in the UK as its too cloudy, we got thunder storms and
high humidity.
Lunar eclipse:
We had clear morning sky and it was simply awesome.
Got up at 4.30 am and went outside to watch it happen.
The Moon was in the western side with Mars bright orange to its left.

Went in and made a cuppa and got a chair and sat in the driveway to be amazed by an awesome creation.
Moon went dark at about 5.35 am local time and suddenly the night sky was also dark.
Then I could also see a lot more of the stars; and watch a couple of satellites move overhead as well.
By 5.45 am the Moon was really dark, like a muddy brown colour, and stayed in shadow until almost 7.00 am.
Amazing how many meteors flash in the night sky. Got one absolutely brilliant glowing rock that burned
white hot for about two seconds - then gone.

I had the approaching dawn behind me with Orion the constellation in the east sky along with Venus.
And in the West I could watch the Lunar eclipse and a brilliant orange Mars.

At present both Jupiter and Saturn are also clearly visible pretty well overhead about half-an-hour after the Sun
has set.
Night sky > Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus.

After over six weeks without rain the very night the Moon turned red we had a cloudy rain storm in London! and many didn't see it including myself. Oh well if you've seen one red Moon you've seen them all.

Another news item doing the rounds is that water has been found on Mars. Will this mean an end to UK Hose Pipe bans every summer
or will we be told its the wrong kind of water?

Here is what the moon looked like last night in my neck of the woods in Missouri. Not blood red, but an orange tint. :)

Seen it here. Mostly through cloud cover. Was not as red through the clouds, but was a site to see for sure.
