Is the "Super Blood Moon" a vision or a precursor to a major earthquake? Is there any scientific basis

The "Blood Moon" is what we often call the "red moon", but before and after each occurrence, there are many rumors that it is an "abnormal phenomenon", and some even say that it is a "sign" of natural phenomena such as major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Is there really such a thing? Is the blood moon really a "vision"?

In fact, this is a very good judgment, but there are still many people who make a differential judgment on the "super blood moon" or "blood moon", and always link some rumors. Let's not take a look at the situation below.

blood moon

The blood moon, also known as the "red moon", usually occurs at the extreme end of a total lunar eclipse, and on May 26 this year, there was a "super blood moon", which can also be directly referred to as "blood moon", The appearance of this super blood moon is a rare celestial phenomenon - a super blood lunar total eclipse. It is the "super moon + red moon + total lunar eclipse" group that appeared, and before this super blood moon appeared, we also saw a lot of situations, that is, the natural disaster of the earth is a bit "weird".

Yunnan, Qinghai and other places have successively experienced strong earthquakes, with magnitudes of 6.4 and 7.4 respectively. Needless to say, there are many small earthquakes. So many people say that the appearance of these natural disasters is related to this "super blood moon"? Indeed, it seems a bit of a coincidence. It doesn't appear early, and it doesn't appear late. This kind of bad natural disaster occurred before the super blood moon. Is there really any relationship between the two? Then let's explain.

Is the blood moon a vision?

In fact, there is no need to "deliberately associate" the super blood moon with earthquakes. Earthquakes are normal geological activities and have nothing to do with each other. On a global scale, earthquakes of different sizes occur almost every day. Most of them are activities caused by plate movement, and a small number may be related to human activities, so they are basically normal natural disasters. Among them, the seismic activity caused by plate movement is the most intense, and the earthquakes of magnitude 6.4 and 7.4 in Yunnan and Qinghai are caused by plate movement. Chinese experts have also analyzed plate movement. The large plate may be due to the obvious increase in plate activity in India. called.

So the super blood moon has nothing to do with earthquakes. Moreover, the appearance of a super blood moon is also a normal natural phenomenon, and the super blood moon in May is the same. When the positions of the moon, the earth, and the sun in the universe are in a straight line, and the shadow of the earth blocks the moon, a lunar eclipse will occur, but this year is a bit special, that is, this total lunar eclipse is also the moon in this year's full moon The biggest one can be said to be a "super moon" rising with food. This time it has a new process, which is a change between celestial bodies.

Another is that this time the moon will "change its face" and become "red", so a super blood moon is formed. The process is - when the moon completely enters the earth's umbra, due to the refraction and scattering of sunlight by the earth's atmosphere , only a small amount of red-yellow light with longer wavelengths can penetrate the atmosphere and shine on the moon, allowing the public to see a "blood" moon during the total eclipse phase. So it is completely normal.

Here again, a problem is explained, that is, the blood moon has nothing to do with earthquakes or any other phenomenon. The blood moon is a normal natural phenomenon. Many people associate these phenomena together, but it is really superfluous.

This lunar eclipse can be seen in many parts of the world, including eastern Asia, Oceania, western North America, western South America, and Antarctica. Except for western Tibet and western Xinjiang, the moon can be seen coming out with food in other places in China, so as long as the weather is better, everyone can witness this process. Time: Beginning of penumbral eclipse at 16:46 on May 26th, Beijing time, first loss at 17:45, eclipse at 19:09, eclipse at 19:19, eclipse at 19:28, full circle at 20:53, The penumbral eclipse ends at 21:51, and this is the approximate situation. Of course, after explaining so much, there are still people who don't believe that there is a problem with the Super Blood Moon, especially among the people.

Super blood moon "folklore"

There is such a saying in folklore: "If the moon changes color, there will be disasters. The green is for hunger and worry, the red is for fighting and soldiers, the yellow is for virtue and joy, the white is for drought and mourning, the black is for water, and people are sick and die." The sentence is a kind of bad words for the natural phenomenon of the super blood moon, "the blood moon is a bad moon, it is a bad omen, and there will be unjust cases", such rumors can still be said to this day, everyone should still take it, when the super blood moon appears When the phenomenon occurs, there is also a scene of "tengu eating the moon", so it is considered a omen.

But obviously, these rumors are without any scientific basis. Here we show you. I hope that in the future, if this happens, we will explain it to them directly with scientific methods. While spreading, the appearance of the super blood moon does not There is no scientific basis for what it means, what foreshadows disasters, the precursors of major earthquakes, etc., so it is even more so that some people ask "whether the blood moon is a vision" and other questions.

Summarize

Although super blood moons are very rare, they are the same as our common meteor showers, annular eclipses and other phenomena. They are astronomical wonders, so there is nothing unusual. And it's not surprising that many astronomical wonders we haven't seen before.

In recent years, it may be that people have seen more natural disasters, such as high temperature, drought, heavy rainfall, etc., so whenever some rare astronomical wonders appear, they will think of many situations, so they are considered catastrophic The problem.

However, it is obvious that the most natural disasters are caused by climate change, and it has nothing to do with the astronomical problem we talked about. This is the general situation.
