Please no sections about 'Blood Moon'
It is used as a nickname mainly for the total Lunar Eclipse. I have added its nickname as well as an invisible comment on lead. Wikiediter2029 (talk) 21:21, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
- The only sources referring to a "blood moon" is the media. If you want references of its use in the media just do a search on it. The eclipse is a copper-red colour and not a blood red colour, despite how sensational the media prefers blood moon. ~2025-43423-41 (talk) 11:20, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Request: Add a proper citation or "[Citation Needed]" for the final sentence of the second paragraph of this article's introduction, the one that reads as "Also unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view without any eye protection or special precautions." as it does not currently seem to have anything to support it. 84.70.233.192 (talk) 14:54, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

- I think there's a source there now, and one later on for another section that has the citations needed box in it. Might it be time to remove the citations needed warnings for those sections, and potentially the article itself? (Don't want to mess with something like that my own self, but figured I'd ping this talk section to see?) ~2026-82485-7 (talk) 16:34, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
lunar eclipse, selenenion
Legend to Photo "October 2014 lunar eclipse viewed from Minneapolis during sunrise on 8 October 2014. Both the Moon and Sun were visible at that time". Comment: The photos of the rising sun and moon going down show the same foreground, thus both show either sun or moon. Res Gerber (talk) 14:03, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
