Someone circled a blurry reddish spot and called it "The Blood Moon" when it's clearly just a motion-blurred photo with light streaks! Classic case of pareidolia meets astrophotography gone wrong. The human brain is hardwired to find patterns even in random visual noise - which is why we see faces in clouds and apparently lunar eclipses in camera shake. Next time you want to photograph an actual blood moon, maybe use a tripod and longer exposure time instead of whatever chaotic hand-held situation created this masterpiece!
