On January 31, a relatively rare phenomena will occur in the skies—Blood Moon—when the Earth’s satellite will be deep red in colour during an eclipse, which the world and India, including cities like Bengaluru, will be able to witness if the skies are clear.
But astronomers say that the Moon is red in colour during all eclipses and that only the shade differs. If there is anything spectacular about the Blood Moon, they say, it is how much we’ve polluted the Earth’s atmosphere, to make it look deep red.
HR Madhusudan, senior scientific officer, Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium, says: “It is a bit of a hype actually.There is nothing really special. All lunar eclipses, depending on the dust the atmosphere has can make the Moon look in faint red to deep red. Deep red is only a grim reminder that there is more dust particles in the atmosphere.”Click Here: Cheap France Rugby Jersey
