A red moon will be visible in parts of the world including the US
The event is known as a 'blood moon' owing to the red colour of the moon
It occurs when the moon passes in to the shadow of Earth called the umbra
The event is quite rare but the moon is currently going through a sequence of four blood moons called a tetrad The last was on 15 April 2014 and the next will be on 4 April 2015
At 6:25am Eastern time on 9 October the eclipse will be at its peak

If anyone pays attention it will be the moon worshipers.
“The Blood Moon Prophecy is an idea popularized by Christian pastors John Hagee and Mark Biltz, which states that an ongoing tetrad (a series of four consecutive total lunar eclipses, with six full moons in between, and no intervening partial lunar eclipses) which began with the April 2014 lunar eclipse is a sign of the end times.”
Omg!
There’s two minarets on the left side of the picture!!!

Mister, would you take a gun—that spells M-O-O-N—question?
Laws yes? If you had your druthers: S&W M&P AR-15? Or Core ‘Scout’ AR-15?
This is the first blood moon of Shemitta, the year of release.
I’ll Stick to my High Standard AR 15.
Laws Yes.
Nothing wrong with the S&W but they dump some military bits.
Not familiar with the Core
High Standard, hmmm. OK. Not the 9mm carbine. That’s High Point.
I’ll look into it. That Colt pony engraving is expensive.
I heard somewhere the Core is built by veterans, for the 5.56, the quality is supposed to be good and the price is right.
So it sounds like a ‘value’. Thanks for the tip.
If this is a normal night I will be waking up to pee just in time to look out the window and see the eclipse.
I like the HS cuz its built in Tx and its a legendary company even if lots has changed.
Anywho that’s what I got.
If you wanna spend $4K on a Noveske, Feel free.
BTW those are MSRP prices for HS
This is a rerun of last April, which I recorded with some 200mm stills. So what I have at stake is my budding “collection” ... i.e. nothing. We’ll see if I make it.
Clear skies here in Chitown at this hour.
Just put a red filter on your camera, take a couple of shots and go to bed. Your body will thank you later.
It is starting now, will peak in about an hour.
I’m on it! ( not sure what all these little knobs and dials are for, though :-)
A friend sent me this link to an interesting exegesis on Feast of Tabernacles, blood moons and the Lord’s return

Finally a clear morning. I have a great view from my deck.
Clouds set in! Could be some breaks, but it’s hard to wait for breaks at five in the morning.
