In recent years, the term Blood Moon has become popular when referring to a total lunar eclipse.

This light, however, has travelled through the Earth's atmosphere first and sometimes causes the totally eclipsed Moon to look red or brownish.

We think that Keith Titchener captured all of this brilliantly.
