According to astronomers' predictions, this year's November is about to have the phenomenon of "Tengu eating the moon", and in this case, there may be a "blood moon" spectacle. In ancient times, the blood moon was regarded as an ominous sign, and many people associated it with war, so many people would be afraid of the appearance of the blood moon, because it represented the occurrence of bloodshed.
We all know that the moon has a pivotal role in the myths and legends of any nation, and in ancient times, once something abnormal happened to the moon, it would be called a variety of interpretations. The ancients believed that if the moon changed color, there would be disasters. Qing is worried about hunger, red is fighting and soldiers, yellow is virtue and joy, white is drought and mourning, black is water, and people are sick and die. Therefore, if the red moon appears, it often represents war, mutiny and so on in people's eyes.
And it was precisely at the time of a few wars that the celestial phenomenon of a blood moon appeared, so people became more convinced of this statement. In the ancient Chinese Book of Southern Qi, it is recorded that in 499 AD, after the Southern Qi Eastern Emperor ascended the throne, a celestial blood moon occurred, and that night, Xiao Yaoguang, who rebelled, was defeated and cursed. On April 24, 1644, a blood moon celestial phenomenon occurred, and on the same night, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself on a locust tree with a crooked neck on coal mountain. The next day, Li Zicheng led an insurgent army into Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed. Li Chunfeng, a famous astronomer in the Tang Dynasty, also mentioned that the moon turning red indicates chaos in the world. So is the Blood Moon really related to war?

Of course, it has nothing to do with it, if the moon changes color to make a big move, then the earth has long been fried, after all, the frequency of blood moons in recent times is still quite a lot, as early as 2014, 2015, 2018 and other time periods have appeared blood moons, and there was also a super blood moon phenomenon in May this year. If the Blood Moon really represents any disaster, then this disaster must be stuck, and it has not come out so many times.
Although this year's earthquakes, extreme weather, hail under storms and so on often appear, but these disasters have nothing to do with the moon, do not throw everything on it. These are completely caused by human beings themselves, constantly destroying the environment, emitting greenhouse gases, and causing the earth to continue to heat up, which is the main reason for the frequent occurrence of various disasters, and the blood moon is just a normal astronomical phenomenon.
We all know that lunar eclipses are divided into three kinds: partial lunar eclipse, total lunar eclipse, and penumbra eclipse, when the moon only partially enters the umbra of the earth, there will be a partial lunar eclipse, and when the moon enters the umbra of the earth, there will be a total lunar eclipse. The blood moon is an astronomical phenomenon that only occurs during the total lunar eclipse.
This is mainly because during a total lunar eclipse, the Moon completely enters the umbra region of the Earth, that is, the Moon and the Sun are completely separated by the Earth. At this time, although the moon does not have direct sunlight, there will still be some astigmatism.
And these astigmatism will pass through the earth's atmosphere, we all know that the shorter the wavelength of light, the more severely scattered by the atmosphere, and the shortest wavelength of blue light in the sunlight, the longest wavelength of red light, so the blue light is completely scattered by the atmosphere, and the red light passes through the earth's atmosphere. That's why the red moon will only appear during the final total lunar eclipse.

According to reports, the specific date of the blood moon in November is November 19, so there is still more than half a month to go. According to astronomers' calculations, the coverage of this partial lunar eclipse is relatively wide, and almost all of Asia (except the polar west), Oceania, North America, South America, the african polar west, the European polar northwest, the Pacific Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean can be seen.
The geographical location of our country can see the second half of the period, if the weather is better, we can enjoy the second round of this year's blood moon at night. Therefore, the relationship between the blood moon and war is just the imagination of the ancients, which is a very common astronomical phenomenon, and everyone does not have to think about anything. However, this time the blood moon has really caught up, and maybe it can be connected with the motherland in the future.
