OK, so the papers today are FULL of pictures of the Blood Moon from last night. How does this square up to this "DE, self-lit cylindrical moon with one end of the cylinder pointing toward Earth" jive ... ?
IF the Moon is a cylinder like this, what possible reason is there for it to turn blood red?
Is it a strategy by "those in control" to make it LOOK as though it's a sphere, passing through Earth's shadow, and illuminated only by refracted light? Highly, highly unlikely.
Could it be a just be coincidence that it turns itself red at EXACTLY the times and places where RE theory and mechanics asserts that it will be? Again, highly unlikely.
Isn't the most probable explanation merely the simplest?
It's an orbital sphere, as stated in the textbooks, as orbited and landed upon by the USA, Russia, China, Japan, and India.
It's a solid, as found by those who have bounced lasers and radio signals off it.
It has a slightly irregular orbit with respect to Earth, so we don't see a Blood Red Moon every 28 days.
We're seeing the BRM because this is one of the occasions when the Moon's orbit takes it into a 'sweet spot' opposite the Sun
Job done. Solved.
