Why does Eclipse of the Moon become red?


WASHINGTON - NASA scientist explained, "The colors are featured on the Moon depends on the size of the amount of dust and clouds in the atmosphere. If there are extra particles in the atmosphere, such as from volcanic eruptions, the moon will be dark red."

Eclipse of the Moon has long been the trigger admiration and fear in human civilization. Especially when the eclipse of the Moon changing Earth satellites into red.


Reporting from Space, Tuesday (11/27/2012), the red moon was at one time had to scare people. Because they do not know the cause and blamed the incident as a result of a variety of things.

However, the color red can actually be explained through science. At the time of the eclipse occurs, the Moon could indeed turn red or copper-colored.

This can happen because some parts of the light emitted by the Sun to the Earth through the atmosphere, then reflected to the moon was wrapped in shadow.

When bouncing, red color in the light spectrum emitted would be easier than other colors. As a result, the color is so reflected on the Moon.
