Floydbax Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Err the physics/astronomy thing, it only goes red when the lunar eclipse happens. That's when the earth comes between the moon and sun, means the reflected sunlight (which is what makes it crispy white ATM) is replaced by bent light particles which travel slower and are more scattered.
