Short lunar eclipse offers a blood red moon

A red moon is seen in the sky during a total lunar eclipse at 20:06 in Panjin, northeast China's Liaoning Province, April 4, 2015. A total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon because of the red color that is cast upon it by light refracting in Earth's atmosphere. [Photo/Xinhua]
