Explaining Lunar Eclipses and the SUPER BLOOD MOON!

[@vcbabis]

Super liked for the "mini moon"

[@littleprincemica2721]

Yep even though the moon I very close then its original position

[@matthewwilliams5407]

I can't thank you enough for getting this episode out, not just for putting people's 'fear to rest' but to properly educate them on what's going on and that it's perfectly natural. I can't recall how many time's I've tried to explain this to some of my family members that this is a natural occurrence and is easily explainable but they keep believing that this is a 'sign' of the end times... SMH

[@enriqueramos8587]

idk why I can't wrap my head around the statement, "When we stare at the red color of the lunar eclipse, we're seeing every sunrise and sunset on earth reflected back at us at the same time." I feel maybe I am overthinking it and making it out to be a more profound statement than it actually is but if someone can break this down for me please

[@shreyakoditala4969]

I thought I was the only one who felt that way ;-;

[@Milky-gr7hz]

Basically imagine a red flashlight in a ring shape. That flashlight is pointed at the moon which is making it appear red.

[@beaclaster]

@@Milky-gr7hz but instead of a red flashlight in a ring shape it's a white flashlight through a lens filtered red with the middle part getting blocked

[@ForAnAngel]

Basically sunrises and sunsets are nothing more than the sun appearing at the horizon. When the sun is that low on the horizon, its light is passing through more of Earth's atmosphere. And because the atmosphere filters out the shorter wavelengths of light more than longer wavelengths (the blues more then reds), only red light is reaching the moon.

[@rootsAlkebu]

Because it’s poppycock

[@codemonkey732]

I hate this shit where people say "you're not seeing the moon, you're just seeing sunlight reflected off the moon" That's how you see everything. That's what seeing something means.

Hey there! a slight correction on 2:31. It is said in the video that the next super moon + lunar eclipse won't happen before 2033, but later today, 26 May 2021, it is going to happen. Very excited for it!!

[@rockwithyou2006]

you know what is really exciting ? A total solar eclipse.

[@josepjesusbigorraalgaba4682]

Bro your videos are amazing! I am from Spain and I love to hear on these curious things like a cubic planet or blood moon! Stay awesome

[@SixsinoCannel]

My mom didn't wake me up to see the eclipse because it, quote on quote "Wasn't that interesting". My (A person who loves astronomy) response: It's a fuc*ing red thing! IN THE SKY!

[@johnthebun]

When I saw it, it was just black... Pretty underwhelmed

[@hardman666]

Thanks for such nice video, I will never look at sunset the same way again

[@Rhekon]

I've seen about 3 - 5 red moons since 2008. It's equally beautiful and unnerving. I prefer the partials that make the moon appear kinda creamy orange, but those are so common I've grown indifferent to them.

[@JohnzeeMr]

+It's Okay To Be Smart sure dude you deserve a break in fact to show my sympathy to top it all up I'll give you a homework 1.) when you can see the moon during the day can you it during the night? 2.) when you see the moon during the day can aheemmm the opposite side of the earth which is night duhhh see the moon 3.) could you do it more like Bill Niel he's funny and it fits the description of moon science because all explainations about the moon, sun and earth relation is a bit funny to me in an exciting way of course and 4.) remember Donald Trump: Boooommm Trump 2015 by the way their is no sunset and sunrise in the moon you will know this once we finally get to the moon so a lunar moon eclipse is not a solar exclipse in the moon.

[@kunalshroff9]

Thanks for this interesting video, however at 2:44 it would be great if you could have the light and dark divide for earth and the moon horizontal instead of vertical (since the sun is at the bottom of the screen)...with the current representation it seems like the earth and moon are illuminated from the left instead of the bottom.

[@AlexaAXAG]

I see a "blood moon" really frequently at the start of spring. last month I saw it 4 times in a row it starts orange.. then full blood red, orange again and then it goes a bit yellowish white.. and then it's normal white again. I'm blessed with such sight

[@SkySpiderGirl]

You guys listened! Or at least were very good at anticipating asking about it

There was a super blue blood moon was seen in Australia at the start of this year (2018) and I wasn't able to see it becayse it was way too cloudy. But the clouds turned orange which was pretty cool.

I remember seeing one of these. I was younger and at a family meet up. No one knew what it was and they listened to around 7 year old me explain. It's really weird looking back on it.

[@pinkribbon1007]

Love you sci channels

[@sophiejanas9704]

I saw that lunar eclipse in 2015 it was awesome!

[@robspiess]

Love the episodes and keep 'em coming, but just wanted to nit-pick that at around 3:20 the Moon-perspective solar eclipse shows the Earth at about the same apparent size as the Sun, but the angular diameter of the Earth would be 4 times that of the Sun.

[@bilthon]

Who did that diagram of the moon's orbit at 2:00 ?

[@DANGJOS]

@Nelson Perez My thoughts exactly. His drawing, or whoever did it, makes it look like there would be two perigee. That is clearly not correct.

My favorite part is the physical Moon is red for a moment, not just filtered red through our atmosphere. I’d love to see a Blood Moon from space, would look crazy just seeing the moon suddenly change color!

[@pocketmastr]

i had to pause the video and just laugh at that!! "I shall call it, Mini Moon." xD

[@RJL8030]

In 3:37, you showed the visible light spectrum as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple right? Aren't the colors red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and blue?

[@MegaMGstudios]

of course i missed the eclipse! it was cloudy! like always when something awesome happens

[@QueenOfTheSea101]

just stopped by to find out the 'origins' of blood moons because so many video games have them these days. thanks for the easily understood explanations for the non-science-geeks like me. very good.... now to find out which video game or video game mod first incorporated the blood moon as 'evil incarnate' to all gamers who have ever played a game with one.

You know, you could Google "Moon phases July 1969" but whatever. July 20th, 1969 (Apollo 11) was a waxing crescent and November 19, 1969 (Apollo 12) was a waxing gibbous.

I have a question. My boyfriend's sister lives Quetzaltenango,Guatemala and she was telling him that over where she lives the moon keeps on turning red. She says that it's not the first time, this is the third time. And my boyfriend was confused so he wanted to know What cause the moon to turn red when it is not even the Lunar Eclipse?

[@highcc]

just that the orbit is an ellipse with earth on ONE of its centers. Ellipses have two centers, not one. Besides that the video is great. Thank you!
