Tokyo | El-Branden Brazil

On October 8th. 2014, Tokyo was treated to a magnificent view of a lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the body of the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon, causing a dark shadow to fall across its the surface. The moon turns an eerie shade of red, earning it the moniker “Blood Moon”.
