Lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon when the moon, Earth and Sun are aligned in one line and the Moon falls in the shadow of our planet. Sunlight is not closed completely, and part of it reaches the lunar surface and has a reddish tint. So for us our moon seemed dyed in pink and red shades.
