Lunar eclipse sequence, showing total eclipse (left) through full moon (right). While the moon lies in the full shadow of the earth (umbra) it receives only faint, red-tinged light refracted through the Earth's atmosphere. As the moon passes into the penumbra it receives increasing amounts of direct sunlight, eventually leaving the shadow of the Earth altogether.

Blood red moon. During total eclipse the moon lies in the full shadow of the earth (umbra) and receives only faint, red-tinged light -- sunlight which is refracted through the thin layer of smoke- and haze-filled air that is Earth's atmosphere.
