Hello everyone!
If you were anywhere on planet Eart on April 4th, 2015, you may have noticed the Moon looking reddish.
This is a phenomenon online communities have been calling Blood Moon since about 2010 and it has to do with a Lunar Eclipse.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow). This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a lunar eclipse can only take place the night of a full moon.
Now, something I found interesting was Tetrads of four sequential lunar eclipses with no intervening partial lunar eclipses occurs 6 other times in this century… But this is the only time it occurs on the Jewish holy days of Passover and Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)… The last time that four blood red moons occurred together was between 1967-1968… The time that the tetrad occurred before this was between 1949-1950…
Now, the next Blood Moon will be Sept. 28th, 2015. Please join my Facebook Event and let’s talk about it as it is happening.
Thank you for reading,
