Saw it while driving to work early in the morning June 2015 hanging over the Franklin mountains low in the sky, it was huge!, Even though I had my camera with me, I was in traffic and didn't want to take my eyes off the traffic, thought I would take pictures when I got to work. But it was much smaller and didn't come out very well.
The Movie does have some fiction in it, but must consider who wrote the book. But overall, the movie is pretty good.
Lunar Tetrad
The term Blood Moon is also sometimes used to refer to four total lunar eclipses that happen in the span of two years, a phenomenon astronomers call a lunar tetrad. The eclipses in a tetrad occur about six months apart with five uneclipsed Full Moons between them.
Usually, only about one in three lunar eclipses are total, and about four to five total eclipses can be seen from any single location on Earth in a decade. This means that lunar tetrads are rare occurrences, leading some to attach special, even religious, significance to these events.
The 2014–2015 lunar tetrad gathered a lot of attention because of claims by some religious organizations that the eclipses in the tetrad were a sign of the end times. Some even called the eclipses Blood Moons after a statement in the Book of Joel in the Hebrew Bible, that referred to the Sun turning dark and the Moon turning red.
