Taking pictures of the Moon 2014 – 2015 lunar tetrad This Oct 8 eclipse is the second in a tetrad, a series of four consecutive total lunar eclipses in 2014 – 2015. The term Blood Moon, has recently become popular when referring to the total lunar eclipses in the 2014 – 2015 lunar tetrad. This term has no technical or astronomical basis and it is unclear where the description originated. Hadith about eclipse Sahih Bukhari 423 Narrated Abdullah bin Umar: The Prophet said, The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someones death or wife (i.e. birth), but they are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah. So, if you see them (i.e. eclipse) offer the Prayer (of eclipse). 424 Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas: The Prophet said, The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah. They do not eclipse because of someones death or life. So, if you see them (i.e. eclipse), celebrate the Praises of Allah (i.e. pray). 425 Narrated Aisha: On the day of a solar eclipse, Allahs Apostle stood up (to offer the eclipse prayer). He recited Takbir, recited a long recitation (of Holy Verses), bowed a long bowing, and then he raised h is head saying. Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him. Then he stayed standing, recited a long recitation again, but shorter than the former, bowed a long bowing, but shorter than the first, performed a long prostration and then performed the second Raka in the same way as he had done the first. By the time he had finished his prayer with Taslim, the solar eclipse had been over. Then he addressed the people referring to the solar and lunar eclipses saying, These are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse because of anyones death or life. So, if you see them, hasten for the Prayer.
