It happens every seven years, which further increases the mystery and appreciation of this lunar drama.

How is the bloody full moon formed?

The blood moon, in layman's terms, is a red moon in the sky. It is not a rare astronomical spectacle in itself, but it usually occurs during solar eclipses. This is because the thick atmosphere absorbs purple, blue, green and yellow light, leaving only red light to penetrate.

The same is true of the "bloody full moon", but it will only appear when there is a total lunar eclipse. The atmosphere refracts red light to the surface of the moon, so people can still see the red moon hanging in the sky in the shadow. It is rare to observe the phenomenon of total lunar eclipse and "blood moon" at the same time, and then see the spectacle of "bloody full moon"
