is there a specific time the red moon happens or is it just like whenever?

Most of the time a red moon appears during a Lunar Eclipse. Full moons that are red moons are rare. I have seen one before. Some red moons are new moons (not visible) which really stinks. Whatever the moon phase is the look of the red moon. I don't know exact dates.

Things in space look more red when they are close to the horizon. This is where their light has to pass through the most atmosphere to get to our eyes and is distorted in the process. This is what happens with setting suns, red moons, and even stars.

The Moon does not become invisible, though, because there is still residual sunlight that is deflected towards it by the Earth's atmosphere, most of which is light in the red part of the spectrum.

The moon will look red when it is low on the horizon or during a lunar eclipse.

During lunar eclipses when the Earth passes in front of the moon and blocks light from reaching it.

not sure, but a Blue moon is the 2nd full moon in one month. Rare, but does happen. I got married on a Blue moon.

Hi. Whenever the light passes through so much dense atmosphere that the blue is completely filtered out. Dust, smog, etc.

when your on a long journey leaving everyone and everything you know. while sitting in a packed rodeo, struggling to get the ghetto blaster to pick up a station, passing 18 wheelers on a unfamiliar road in dessert country.
