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?
