Is it possible for a partial lunar eclipse to be a 2 on the Danjon scale? If so, is it possible for this lunar eclipse to have been a 2 on the scale?

$\begingroup$ Could you define exactly what you mean by a blood moon? (I gather it's a certain number of lunar eclipses within a short period, but I'm unsure. I seem to be getting a lot of contradictory stuff in a search.) $\endgroup$– AndyCommented Nov 16, 2016 at 10:03

If we go with the discussion at Time&Date, it would depend on just how 'red' you want the moon to look. The term "blood moon" is not an astronomical term, nor is it a specific full moon, such as "blue," "harvest," or even these .
