Blood Moon or super moon from around the World September 2015

 What you need to know about a blood moon. 

According to The Gaurdian, during a total lunar eclipse, the Earth, sun and moon are almost exactly in line, with the moon on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. As the moon was full when it moved into the shadow of the Earth it dimmed markedly, but remained visible because of the sunlight passing through the Earth’s atmosphere.

So why was it reddish?
The sunlight passing through the Earth’s atmosphere was filtered and refracted in such a way that the green to violet light on the spectrum was scattered more strongly than the red light. This left more red light to reach the moon’s surface.

What did this moon look like from different places around the world?

Cecil the Lion, and the Dentist

With a title like that, one could easily think it is a children's story book. However this story is a horror, were Cecil ends up dead, stuffed and displayed as a trophy piece on a Dentists wall.

Walter Palmer an American dentist from Minnesota is no stranger to hunting, but sparked outrage around the world for hunting and killing Cecil the lion, Zimbabwe's favorite lion.
According to BBC News Palmer said he had no idea that the lion was a "local favourite". Like that makes killing an animal without provocation okay... 

The two local men who assisted him are face charges of up to 15years in jail, in my opinion is not severe  enough. Palmer paid the approximately R650 000 (which is a lot of money) to arrange for his little trip. After luring the animal out of the National park with bait Palmer shot him with a cross bow and rifle, according to BBC News, the hunt took 40hours but once over Palmer skinned him.

Poaching is illegal in most parts of the world but in Africa hunting lions is illegal! Palmer stated he is regretful, as he was tricked by the guides who said they had arranged all the legal paperwork. He calls the ignorance card... 

He is no stranger to Hunting... whether legal or illegal in this case... below are some of his previous hunts
