Even although it wasn’t a true “blood moon,” or total eclipse, the moon was deep sufficient within the Earth’s darker shadow (the umbra) and turned pink as a result of refraction of sunshine in our planet’s ambiance.
But as you may see within the video, the pink solely was seen for a part of the occasion. The full moon first entered Earth’s penumbral (its outer, fainter shadow) at 1:02 am EST (6:02 GMT), and the umbral phase started about an hour and fifteen minutes later, when the moon began to noticeably darken at its southern limb.
