Bloody the red color of the Moon during a complete lunar eclipse can be difficult to explain without a basic understanding of orbital mechanics. Supporters of conspiracy theories about flat earth have come to discover how to circumvent scientific facts and create a creative explanation of this phenomenon.

Bloody Moon 20. - 21.1.2019

During the weekend (20. - 21. January 2019) during the event "Blood Red Moon" in a large part of the western hemisphere, moon passes appeared directly across the shadow of the Earth. The moon turns red during the eclipse, just like the sunrise or sunset. The sunlight is dispersedas it passes through the atmosphere. According to conspiracy theorists about the flat Earth, this is an exceptional opportunity to capture the mysterious "Shadow Object" that orbits the Sun and sometimes in front of the Moon. According to them, our Earth is pizza-shaped.

Although the proponents of this theory are convinced that our planet is flat as a pancake, the Sun and the Moon perceive them as spherical objects. These spheres, according to them, are orbiting only around the North Pole of the Earth. If their theory were to apply, the lunar eclipse could never happen because Moon must be on the opposite side of the sun. Therefore, they believe that the eclipse of the moon causes a mysterious shadow object, which we do not normally see and is visible only when it is in front of the moon.

Flat Earth Wiki

Flat-Earthers Wiki he claims that "we are never even allowed a glimpse of the celestial body when appearing near the sun during the day." 5,15 degrees to the orbital plane of the Sun. Coincidentally, it is the angle at which the Moon's orbit is tilted against Earth's orbit. Flat Earth did not substantiate this with any mathematical calculations to achieve this figure. Most likely, this figure was "borrowed" from the calculations of real astronomers.

The Wiki further states that “there is also the possibility that a shadow object is a known celestial body. Astronomers have already mapped the orbits of all the planets for the foreseeable future, and none of them will appear (if ever) between Earth and the Moon.

Past and future eclipse

It is obvious that Flat Earth explains the eclipse of the Moon completely unsubstantiated.
