‘Blood Moon’

I’m an amateur photographer and avid reader of the Kane County Connects blog. I wanted to submit my photograph of the Blood Moon aka lunar eclipse for the Kane County Moments page. It was taken at my farmhouse in Burlington Illinois.
I’m sure you will get plenty of photographs of this historic event, but I thought I would submit mine, just in case you were looking for submissions. Thanks so much for your work on the blog. It’s an incredible resource, and I read it every day!
Thanks,
Alex
What Is a Blood Moon?
“At that October Blood Moon, there (is) a lunar eclipse. We in astronomy had not heard the term Blood Moon used in quite this way before this year, but now the term has become widespread in the media. The origin of the term is religious, at least according to Christian pastor John Hagee, who wrote a 2013 book about Blood Moons.”
