Today (July 30th) in Calgary, Alberta we had a blood red moon, it was really facinating, being almost full (full moon was yesterday). Trying to look up this phenomenon, I've discovered the most common cause of such a red moon to be a lunar eclipse. However the last lunar eclipse was in early March and the next isn't due until the end of August.
Since a lunar eclipse is not causing this brilliant red moon, what could it be? This moon is brilliant red at night (10 o'clock-12 o'clock) so it's not the sun shining over the horizon like it does in the early evening/morning.
