It is my understanding that it will be what they call a "blood moon" in that it turns a deep red at some point due to reflected light from earth. Don't ask me to explain; just repeating part of a news story I heard. :)

Why do phenomena such as this seemingly always have to be seen as the 'end of the world' to some? Its like these people are still living in the old testament.

For example, according to USA Today (today by the way) http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/14/blood-moon-lunar-eclipse-john-hagee-end-of-world/7694331/

".... best-selling author and Texas televangelist pastor John Hagee sees the four blood moons as evidence of a future "world-shaking event," possibly the beginning of the end of the world.

The controversial 73-year-old founder of Texas' Cornerstone Church says he has been preparing for the tetrad for years. The preparation includes a book — Blood Moons: Something is About to Change and an online TV special Tuesday.

"What is the prophetic significance (of the four blood moons)? Is this the end of the age?" Hagee asked his congregation during a sermon shortly after his book was released, Christianity Today reports.

He cites Acts 2:19-20 as a sign: "And I will show wonders in Heaven above and signs in the Earth beneath, the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.""

It's just a way for people to get in the news and generate money by getting visibility.

It's evidence that physics still works.

Science works...even if you don't believe in it.
