Is it really dripping blood or just eerily glowing red due to Rahu's bite/atmospheric conditions?

A total lunar eclipse is coming Tuesday: What to know and best times to see the 'blood' moon

Sick of politics on Election Day? Well, there is an astronomical spectacle coming Tuesday morning that we can all enjoy. A total lunar eclipse will occur across the USA early Tuesday, which is Election Day.

It's the first Election Day total lunar eclipse in U.S. history, according to EarthSky.org.

Rahu is an Asura or Titan.

The next Election Day lunar eclipse won't occur for another 372 years, long after the country is a smoking ember in the ruins of the Apocalypse, when no one will know that it is Nov. 8, 2394.

And there won't be another total lunar eclipse visible in the U.S. until March 2025, NASA claimed.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth, according to NASA.

• [According to Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, it happens when the Planet Rahu swallows the Moon Soma/Chandra. Until it lets it go, there is darkness. Eclipses are a fearful portent in India, as well as other parts of the world.  Modern Ayurvedic Doctor Kumar (ashwinayurveda.com) explained to Wisdom Quarterly that Rahu is not a planet but a node or point on its elliptic orbit when the eclipse occurs, one heavenly body blocking another in the play of sun (Sol or Surya), Earth (Bhumi), and moon (Soma or Chandra).]

When this happens, NASA continues, Earth blocks the sunlight that normally reaches the moon. Instead of that sunlight hitting the moon’s surface, Earth's shadow falls on it.

Where and when can one see the eclipse? Lunar eclipses can be visible from everywhere on the night side of Earth, if the sky is clear, TimeandDate.com said. "From some places the entire eclipse will be visible, while in other areas the moon will rise or set during the eclipse."

According to EarthSky's Bruce McClure, if one lives in the U.S., or elsewhere in North America, one can see the eclipse in the wee hours before sunrise Tuesday. More

Who is the Titan (Asura) Rahu?

.

Mt. Sumeru is the mythical axis mundi.

(Wiki) The world of the Asuras ("Titans") is the space at the foot of Mount Sumeru (Pali Mt. Sineru), much of which is a deep ocean. It is not the Asuras' original home, but the place they found themselves after they were cast out, drunk on sura (heavenly "beer"), from the Heaven of the Thirty-Three (Trāyastriṃśa) where they had formerly lived alongside the devas there. The Asuras are always fighting to regain their lost home in that lowly heavenly kingdom on top of Mt. Sumeru, but they are unable to break the guard of the Four Great Sky Kings (Regents) that were tasked with protecting that world by Sakka, Chief of the Devas. The Asuras are divided into many groups and have no single chief or ruler, but among their leaders are Vemacitrin (वेमचित्री or Pāli Vepacitti, वेपचित्ती) and Rāhu. In later texts, the Asura realm as one of the four unhappy states of rebirth. However, the Nikāya evidence does not show that the Asura realm was regarded as a state of suffering. More
