Light truly reflected from Earth can be sort of green , blue or white from water, and brown sort from desertic areas most important reflected light cannot it the moon during eclipse. The phenomenon is purely based on the light that goes throughout the atmosphere ( and so does twice, to reach our eyes). | |

Danjon scale and magnitude

Barring volcanic eruptions or some other source of an excess of ash/dust in the air, will the moon always appear red during a total eclipse? | |
