What is a lunar obscuration?
A lunar obscuration happens when the Earth is situated between the sun and the moon, projecting a shadow on the last option – they tend to occur around three times each year.
At the point when the moon goes through the Earth's shadow, its appearance changes, which is the way it became referred to in certain quarters as a blood moon.
This moniker stems for the way that it can seem red when it goes through the Earth's umbral shadow, as the main light hitting it has gone through the planet's air.
In contrast to a sunlight based shroud, a wide range of lunar overshadowing are protected to see with the unaided eye. The moon is reflecting daylight, not delivering it, so it doesn't get any more brilliant than a full moon would generally be.

There are three kinds of lunar overshadowing, with the Natural History Museum clarifying: "To comprehend the distinction between them, we first need to see how Earth's shadow functions.
"As our planet shut out the daylight, it really projects two unique shadows. One is a bigger shadow that expands away from Earth at a point, known as the obscuration.
"Straightforwardly behind Earth, be that as it may, is a hazier and smaller shadow, called the umbra."
The three kinds of lunar overshadowing are:
Absolute lunar overshadowing: When the moon passes into the Earth's umbral shadow – this is the point at which it becomes especially red, procuring its Blood Moon name.
Penumbral lunar obscuration: When the Moon passes into the Earth's external shadow (a penumbral overshadowing is hard to distinguish).
Halfway lunar obscuration: When the shadow and the moon aren't totally adjusted, as will be the situation on 19 November
When is the following lunar obscuration?
There will be two all out lunar obscurations one year from now, with the occasion on 16 May apparent from the UK.
The moon will begin to enter the Earth's shadow at 2.30am UK time, with the full obscuration showing up not long before 4.30am.
This should give British onlookers something like more than two hours to see the obscuration before the dawn takes over at around 5.10am.
There will then, at that point, be one more absolute lunar obscuration on 8 November, yet this won't be apparent in the UK.
