At this time, a total lunar eclipse will be formed and the surface of the moon will turn dark red.

The reason why there will be a "blood moon" during the total lunar eclipse is not because the earth is blocked and the moon cannot be seen at all. The main reason is that sunlight is a kind of "mixed light", which is the electromagnetic radiation of all spectra emitted by the solar thermonuclear fusion reaction.
