During a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon. This can cause the Moon to appear dimmer or even turn a reddish color.

The PMD has advised the public to take precautions when viewing the lunar eclipse, as direct sunlight can damage the eyes. People can use special eclipse glasses or project the image of the eclipse onto a screen to view it safely. – INP
