The "blood moon" looked more brown than red, as the color is from the moonlight shining through the atmosphere. The moon appeared large tonight, because it's as close as it comes during the month. I'm posting this partly for my mom, who's socked in with cloud. Did any of you get to see the moon tonight?

You're right, it looked brown. In fact, I have never seen it red.

I think it depends on how dusty the atmosphere is.

Thank you, but I can't take the credit - it's a variation on an old pilot's saying. You're welcome, too.
