The color of the moon is caused by the Sun's rays 'bouncing' off of Earth and lighting up the moon. Blue light is scattered by Earth's atmosphere, but the longer (red) rays reach the surface of the moon making it look reddish.

“The exact color that the moon appears depends on the amount of dust and clouds in the atmosphere,” NASA scientists told Space.com. “If there are extra particles in the atmosphere, from say a recent volcanic eruption, the moon will appear a darker shade of red.”]]> 2019-01-20 22:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandra_hughes0428/le17ycj01k8i/wish/322531889 STRATEGY alexandra_hughes0428 https://padlet.com/alexandra_hughes0428/le17ycj01k8i/wish/322538447 This is a wonderful article to teach students about the moons in our solar system! I would introduce the topic and the article a week before the eclipse so the students are able to fully understand and enjoy the eclipse at home. ]]> 2019-01-20 23:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandra_hughes0428/le17ycj01k8i/wish/322538447 TEACHER INFO alexandra_hughes0428 https://padlet.com/alexandra_hughes0428/le17ycj01k8i/wish/322545401 The Mensa Foundation offers a good introduction to a lesson about moons.
