blood moons
Ruddy lunar eclipses
A blood moon is a total lunar eclipse during which the moon takes on a reddish or coppery hue, caused by Earth's atmosphere filtering sunlight and bending red wavelengths onto the lunar surface.
The term gained popular currency in the 2010s, partly through religious and apocalyptic associations with prophecy.
In video games, particularly the Zelda series, a blood moon is a recurring event that resets enemies or triggers special gameplay conditions.
