>As it rises, during this total eclipse, Earth's natural satellite will turn a striking shade of red or ruddy brown.
The "totality" period, when light from the Moon is totally obscured, will last for one hour, 43 minutes.
>The eclipse is visible from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, most of Asia and South America and in the UK from around 21:00 to 22:15 BST. On the same night and over the coming days, Mars will be at its closest point to Earth since 2003 - visible as a "bright red star" where skies are clear.
>It coincides not only with Mars's close approach, but with what he described as a "procession of planets" - a line-up of our celestial neighbours that will give skywatchers a particularly good view of Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.
I'm currently NE England, it's really cloudy at the moment and probably will continue but hoping to get some good views. Any FP'ers who have an interest in photography of the stars, would be a really good opportunity to get some pics tonight.
Behold, a Paleblood sky!
What out for increased mob spawning, with the school holidays upon us, young louts will be staying out later and loitering around your base/house. If you're prepared to fight them it might be a good opportunity to get some loot, many of them will be carrying iphones - just don't get overwhelmed.
this is the true test of courage for all those hemophobic medical students
Let us pray to the blood moon for it's blessings

Great timing
In case anybody's interested, the reason it goes red is because the only light getting to the moon is being filtered through our atmosphere and lower frequency light is better at going through things, which is why sunsets and sunrises are red.
No! This is no mere work of science! It is because the Ancient Gods are furious, and demand a sacrifice! We must appease them, to prevent their sure bringing of the apocalypse! Heed my word, or we will all pay dearly!

Get your water candles and mob traps ready
Huge lightning storm here right now, and even though it's barely dark and the moon is not visible, the lightning is fucking pink.
Awesome.
If the weather is to be believed, it's going to be apocalyptic levels of rain tonight so I'll likely miss it.

Well, it's either cloudy, or you have horrible light pollution where you're at.
Does anyone have eyes on? Can't see the moon, my blood sacrifices are being wasted.

Blood moon and Mars, note the Greek flags at half mast due to all the wildfire deaths this week.
It's too fucking cloudy to see. God damn it.
I'm just glad I had an apocalyptic level lightning storm.
If the world really did end I wouldn't have been surprised, too many things going on at the same time, if the prophecies didn't come true today, there ain't no fuckin' prophecies.
We have had red moons due to the wildfires in so cal right now, so would it make it look devilishly red or something if we add the regular redmoon cycle atop that?
