The moon doesn't go black because indirect sunlight still reaches it after passing through the Earth's atmosphere. Since the atmosphere filters out blue light, the indirect light that reaches the moon transforms it into a reddish or orange tinge, depending on how much dust and cloud cover are in the atmosphere at the time.And why is it red?
And why is it red?
We woke up at 4:45 AM to see it, I wonder if it looks any different from the Southern sky? ???
