- A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon moves into the Earth’s shadow.
- A “blood moon” happens when Earth’s moon is in a total lunar eclipse. This gives the moon a red or ruddy-brown due to the refraction of sunlight.
- Meanwhile, a supermoon is a new or full moon that occurs around the same time as perigee (the point in the Moon’s orbit where it is closest to Earth).
