Everything you need to know about the ‘blood moon’ apocalypse debate
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/04/03/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-blood-moon-apocalypse-debate/?tid=hpModule_99d5f542-86a2-11e2-9d71-f0feafdd1394/"For a very brief time on Saturday, the moon will turn an orangey-red, depending on conditions, during an Easter weekend lunar eclipse. Although the east coast of the United States will be shut out of this particular blood moon in the sky, its just the third of four such eclipses spanning a period of a couple years an event known as a tetrad.
The phrase blood moon tetrad is a wonderful phrase that seems to demand its own apocalyptic mythology, which it, in fact, has.
Although not every full lunar eclipse turns a blood red color earning its colloquial name, the current tetrad has become the focus of speculation in some circles about its relationship to the coming end of the world. Something, the theory goes, simply must be coming with the tetrad."
Doesn't look like a blood moon to me in that photo. Looks more like a pinkish caucasian flesh tone with blemishes.

I think it looks more like a dried blood moon, one that was put through the washer and dryer without being treated and now it's there forever.

Sure, its plutonium pollution in the sky, but they tell me plutonium is safe as long as you don't breathe any of it.
