Language Insights

  • The 'reddish-black' (akaguroi) color described is often called a 'Blood Moon'. It occurs because Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light but allows red light to bend into the shadow and reach the moon.
  • The phrase 'Vるだけで' is very useful for explaining simplicity—in this case, you don't need special equipment, just your eyes.
