Vic Red Moon last night

[whelan=legend]

Anyone else see it? Pretty trippy, why was it red for? It was back to normal around 2am IIRC.

The sunset was also abnormally red, i presume the devil is upon us

Yeah earlier in the night the sun was orange, then half hour later it was a lot closer to red. Then we walked out of the footy and the moon was blood red. Fair crazy but dunno what was going on.

 

[Inferno]

Smoke from the fires.

 

[Kahuna]

Probably just the dust from Mars making it red, sometimes its a orange due to some type of eclipse.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Smoke and ash from the fires.

Yep the Devil's taking a Holiday from Georgia and seems to have settled in Victoria.

I got images of the sun from yesterday.

Wow that is a weird colour, I'll have a look when I can see it and see if it is a weird colour or not.

The smoke and ash high in the atmosphere would have no doubt affected the colour of the moon & the sun.

This happens from time to time after major fires or volcanic eruptions.

For example, after the Krakatoa eruption in 1883, the sun appeared green and the moon blue (hence the expression "once in a blue moon"). And a mysterious object that crashed at Tunguska, Northern Russia in 1908 created such a fallout from the explosion that the sunlight & moonlight were affected for months afterwards.

I wish the moon was always blue, that would be pretty cool. White is such a boring colour.

no way white is good, it means that one day we'll be able to project movies onto the moon

Or draw huge hearts on it, as Hancock would have you believe.

 

[Johnson#26]

Yeah, the moon has been a bit weird lately. But the air's had a tinge of red for the past few days.

Smoke filters out higher frequencies of the visible spectrum letting a lot of red through. The closer the sun is to the horizon the more atmosphere it's light has to go through to reach us seeing it (so more smoke), so it's more dramatic at dawn and dusk.

I thought it was quite obvious that it was from the smoke.

It's was like it the other night up here too.

Revelation 6:12

Then I saw the lamb open the sixth seal. There was a powerful earthquake (financial collapse?). The sun turned as black as sackcloth made of hair (Smoke), and the full moon turned as red as blood.
