A total [[lunar eclipse]] occurred at the Moon’s [[Lunar node|ascending node]] of orbit on Tuesday, April 15, 2014,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=April 14–15, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2014-april-15|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=16 November 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with an umbral [[Magnitude of eclipse|magnitude]] of 1.2918. A lunar eclipse occurs when the [[Moon]] moves into the [[Earth&amp;#039;s shadow]], causing the Moon to be darkened. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon&amp;#039;s near side entirely passes into the Earth&amp;#039;s umbral shadow. Unlike a [[solar eclipse]], which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the [[night]] side of Earth. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly two hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes at any given place, because the Moon&amp;#039;s [[Umbra, penumbra and antumbra|shadow]] is smaller. The Moon&amp;#039;s apparent diameter was near the average diameter because it occurred 6.9 days after [[Apsis|apogee]] (on April 8, 2014, at 10:50 UTC) and 7.6 days before [[Apsis|perigee]] (on April 22, 2014, at 20:20 UTC).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Moon Distances for London, United Kingdom, England|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/distance.html?year=2014&amp;amp;n=136|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=16 November 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This lunar eclipse is the first of a [[Tetrad (astronomy)|tetrad]], with four total lunar eclipses in series, the others being on [[October 2014 lunar eclipse|October 8, 2014]]; [[April 2015 lunar eclipse|April 4, 2015]]; and [[September 2015 lunar eclipse|September 28, 2015]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Lunar eclipse}}&lt;br /&gt;
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes within Earth&amp;#039;s [[umbra]] (shadow). As the eclipse begins, the Earth&amp;#039;s shadow first darkens the Moon slightly.  Then, the shadow begins to &amp;quot;cover&amp;quot; part of the Moon, turning it a dark red-brown color (typically - the color can vary based on atmospheric conditions).  The Moon appears to be reddish because of [[Rayleigh scattering]] (the same effect that causes sunsets to appear reddish) and the refraction of that light by the Earth&amp;#039;s atmosphere into its umbra.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Visual Appearance of Lunar Eclipses|work=NASA|author=Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus|url=http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEcat5/appearance.html|access-date=April 13, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following simulation shows the approximate appearance of the Moon passing through the Earth&amp;#039;s shadow. The Moon&amp;#039;s brightness is exaggerated within the umbral shadow. The northern portion of the Moon was closest to the center of the shadow, making it darkest, and most red in appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

On April 15, 2014, the Moon passed through the southern part of the Earth&amp;#039;s umbral shadow.&amp;lt;ref name=NASA /&amp;gt; It was visible over most of the western hemisphere, including eastern [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], the [[Pacific Ocean]], and the Americas.&amp;lt;ref name=USAToday&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Blood moon eclipse on April 15 is a special event|date=April 3, 2014|work=USA Today|author=Elizabeth Weise|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/04/03/lunar-eclipse-april-15-blood-moon/7210901/|access-date=April 3, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In the western Pacific, the first half of the eclipse occurred before moonrise.

The Moon entered Earth&amp;#039;s [[penumbra|penumbral shadow]] at 4:53:40 [[UTC]] and the umbral shadow at 5:58:19. Totality lasted for 1 hour 17.8 minutes, from 7:06:46 to 8:24:34. The moment of greatest eclipse occurred at 7:45:39.  At that point, the Moon&amp;#039;s [[zenith]] was approximately {{convert|3000|km|mi}} southwest of the [[Galápagos Islands]]. The Moon left the umbral shadow at 9:33:02 and the penumbral shadow at 10:37:33.&amp;lt;ref name=NASA&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Eclipses During 2014|url=http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OH2014.html#LE2014Apr15T|first=Fred|last=Espenek|author-link=Fred Espenak|publisher=[[NASA]]|access-date=April 3, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peak umbral magnitude was 1.29177, at which moment the northern part of the moon was 1.7 [[arc-minute]]s south of the center of Earth&amp;#039;s shadow, while the southern part was 40.0 arc-minutes from center.  The [[gamma (eclipse)|gamma]] of the eclipse was −0.3017.&amp;lt;ref name=NASA /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eclipse was a member of [[Lunar Saros 122]]. It was the 56th such eclipse.&amp;lt;ref name=NASA /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Relation to prophecy ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Blood moon prophecy}}&lt;br /&gt;
Starting in 2008, Christian pastors [[John Hagee]] and [[Mark Biltz]] began teaching &amp;quot;blood moon prophecies&amp;quot;: Biltz said the [[Second Coming]] of Jesus would occur at the end of the tetrad that began with the April 2014 eclipse, while Hagee said only that the tetrad is a sign of something significant.&amp;lt;ref name=CNews&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Upcoming &amp;#039;Blood Moon&amp;#039; Lunar Eclipses Spark Woes, Discussion About End Times Bible Prophecy|date=April 14, 2014|url=http://christiannews.net/2014/04/14/upcoming-blood-moon-lunar-eclipses-spark-woes-discussion-about-end-times-bible-prophecy/|access-date=April 28, 2014|author=Garrett Haley|work=Christian News Network}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The idea gained popular media attention in the United States, and prompted a response from the scientific radio show &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Earth &amp;amp; Sky]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=USAToday /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=What is a Blood Moon?|date=March 30, 2014|work=Earth &amp;amp; Sky|author=Bruce McClure|author2=Deborah Byrd|author-link2=Deborah Byrd|url=http://earthsky.org/space/what-is-a-blood-moon-lunar-eclipses-2014-2015|access-date=April 4, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Christian Today]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, only a &amp;quot;small group of Christians&amp;quot; saw the eclipse as having religious significance, despite the attention.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Lunar Eclipse April 15, 2014: Four Blood Moons a sign of End Times?|date=April 5, 2014|author=Samantha Blake|work=Christian Today|url=http://www.christiantoday.com/article/lunar.eclipse.april.15.2014.blood.moon.sign.of.end.times.when.to.watch/36566.htm|access-date=April 6, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Eclipse season ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Eclipse cycle}}&lt;br /&gt;
This eclipse is part of an [[eclipse season]], a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a [[fortnight]].&lt;br /&gt;

A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a [[Saros (astronomy)#Relationship between lunar and solar saros .28sar.29|half saros]]).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mathematical Astronomy Morsels, Jean Meeus, p.110, Chapter 18, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;The half-saros&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This lunar eclipse is related to two hybrid total/annualar solar eclipses of [[solar saros 129]].&lt;br /&gt;
