During totality, the moon moves into the Earth’s darkest shadow, the umbra. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, blue wavelengths scatter while red light continues, casting a crimson hue on the lunar disc. This effect, known as Rayleigh scattering, is also responsible for the orange glow of sunsets and the blue of daytime skies.
