Pretty much. The light from the sun is carried around the earth and is coloured by dust particles in the air.

It finished at about 10:15... You posted this at 10:15. Unlucky.

Anyway. I saw it partially. There's a huge tree over to where the moon was. It had no leaves so i could still see the moon. And it was more orange than red.

The atmosphere also bends the light round kind of as the Earth is bigger than the moon that's the only way light get's to it, making it red... For some reason.

How does that work exactly? Does the light that passes round the Earth partially hits the moon so it can be seen, or is it something else? I heard that the redness is due to the Earth's dust in the atmosphere; so does the atmosphere act as a filter for the light that gets through?
