TOTAL LUNAR ECLISPE
A TRULY WONDER EVENT
http://i.space.com/images/i/000/038/...jpg?1397559737 link http://www.space.com/25498-total-lun...targazers.html The moon took on an eerie blood-red hue early Tuesday during the first total lunar eclipse of 2014, a celestial sight that wowed potentially millions of stargazers across North and South America. The total lunar eclipse of April 15 lasted about 3.5 hours between late Monday and early Tuesday, with the Earth's shadow slowing darkening the face of the so-called "Blood Moon" in a jaw-dropping sight for stargazers willing to stay up extra late or rise super-early for the event. "Definitely worth the early wake-up call," skywatcher Brett Bonine of Arkansas told Space.com in an email.

TOTAL LUNAR ECLISPE
What is with this "blood moon" nonsense being spouted by certain mainstream media sources?
I've never heard astronomers call lunar eclipses "blood moons". For one thing, they are usually not red, but a copper color.
