Funky_Gibbon Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The End Times have arrived! Flee sinners flee!... There are few situations that can cause a red Moon. The most common way to see the Moon turn red is when the Moon is low in the sky, just after moonrise or before it’s about to set below the horizon. Just like the Sun, light from the Moon has to pass through a larger amount of atmosphere when it’s down near the horizon, compared to when it’s overhead. The Earth’s atmosphere can scatter sunlight, and since moonlight is just scattered sunlight, it can scatter that too. Red light can pass through the atmosphere and not get scattered much, while light at the blue end of the spectrum is more easily scattered. When you see a red moon, you’re seeing the red light that wasn’t scattered, but the blue and green light have been scattered away. That’s why the Moon looks red.

Hopman Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 There's been an economy drive and they had to turn down the power. It has absolutely nothing to do with Boris or Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbeliever Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Its very low and very red?? Never seen that before! An accident with an amateur particle accelerator suspected to by based somewhere in Sheffield has pushed the moon out of its normal orbit and it is being gradually drawn toward the accelerator. Either that or it's just the sky falling in on account of Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
