Question

according to the calendar it had been about 14 days since the beginning of the last lunar cycle. Usually, the moon is bright white, but today a dark red moon hangs in the night sky. What are you witnessing? A.Solar eclipse B.a lunar eclipse C.a northern light D.a lunar perihelion

Answer 1

Going by the situation described above, the correct answer is choice B (A LUNAR ECLIPSE).

When there is a total lunar eclipse, the Moon is no longer being illuminated by the Sun so it appears dark, but then the red light passing through the Earth’s atmosphere reaches the Moon, and as a result, is reflected off of it making it appear red.
