The moon takes a reddish tinge due to total lunar eclipse. Stronger atmospheric scattering of blue light means that the light that reaches the lunar surface is predominantly red in color during an eclipse so observers on Earth see a moon that may be brick-colored, rusty, blood-red or sometimes just dark grey, depending on terrestrial conditions in the night.
