Lunar phases refer to the different appearances of the Moon as seen from Earth, which are caused by the changing positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun. The cycle of lunar phases lasts about 29.5 days and includes new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter.
A 'Blood Moon' refers to the reddish appearance of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse. This coloration occurs due to Rayleigh scattering of sunlight through the Earth's atmosphere, which filters out the blue light and allows the red wavelengths to reach the Moon.
