Title: Shadow Object
Post by: JohnAdams1145 on January 31, 2018, 01:16:55 PM

The RE explanation for the lunar eclipse that I'm looking at says that it looks red because of refracted sunlight from the atmosphere, and that the Earth has blocked the sunlight. How does FE shadow object explain the red color of the Moon if it blocks us from seeing it at all? Is the shadow object translucently red?

Update: I can see the entire circle of the Moon in the maximum eclipse. It has just gotten fainter. How could this be a shadow object blocking the Moon?

I would also like an explanation for this. Include proof please. Saying "it's a shadow object that can't be observed" is conjecture, not proof.

I was sitting on a hill west of Austin this very morning watching as the eclipse happened.  There was no shadow object blocking anything.

Have you seen this thread?

It diagrams the impossibility of the "shadow object".
