Reply to comment by WinterElfeas in Blood moon lunar eclipse expected on election day, last one for three years by deron666

Lunar eclipses are actually quite dim. They don’t have any effect on the color of the sky even at night.

It can happen especially often after rain, I'd imagine it's due to the high humidity causing lots of deflection of shorter wavelength light (blues) and leaving lots of reds and oranges.
