In March 2026, a total lunar eclipse turned the Moon red, creating a striking Blood Moon. The following months bring the Pink Moon in April, Blue Moon in May, and Strawberry Moon in June, though their names are symbolic and not indicative of actual color changes. These traditional names often reflect seasonal events, such as the blooming of flowers or the harvesting of strawberries. The Moon’s color shifts—appearing yellow, orange, or even blue—depend on atmospheric conditions like scattering of light at low horizons or particles from wildfires or volcanic eruptions. True color changes, like the reddish glow, occur during total lunar eclipses. https://www.timeanddate.com/news/astronomy/colorful-moons-2026
